The Senior ABL Credit Facility provides the Company with the following extensions of credit and loans: (1) a Revolving Commitment in the principal amount of $25.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”) and (2) a mortgage-based Term Loan Commitment in the principal amount of $17.5 million (the “Term Loan”). The loans under the Senior ABL Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets of the Company and guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries who are not borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility. The aggregate amount of revolving loans permitted under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of: (i) the sum of 85% of certain eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser of 65% of the value of certain eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of certain eligible inventory, plus (iii) an amount not to exceed $4.2 million, which amount will be adjusted based on the face amount of certain letters of credit issued to Citizens Bank, N.A. in connection with certain operating leases and capitalized leases, minus (iv) reserves for any amounts which the lender deems necessary or appropriate. Borrowings under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may be made as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Base Rate loans will bear interest at the fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (b) Citizens own prime rate; and (c) the adjusted Eurodollar rate on such day for an interest period of one (1) month plus 1.00%; and (ii) plus the Applicable Rate, as described below. Eurodollar Rate Loans will bear interest at the rate per annum equal to (i) the ICE Benchmark Administration LIBOR Rate; plus (ii) the Applicable Rate. The “Applicable Rate” will be (a) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Term Loans, and (b) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans, in each case until December 31, 2016, and thereafter the Applicable Rate will be adjusted quarterly, responsive to the Company’s Quarterly Average Availability Percentage, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans and from 2.25% to 2.75% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans. In addition to interest payments on the Senior ABL Credit Facility loans, the Company will pay commitment fees to the lender of 0.375% per quarter on undrawn Revolving Loans. The Company will also pay other customary fees and reimbursements of costs and disbursements to the lender. The Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan is November 10, 2019, provided, however, upon repayment of Company subordinated indebtedness the maturity date will automatically extend to five years after the Closing Date for Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, and with respect to the Term Loans, the earlier of the date that is (i) ten years after the Closing Date and (ii) the maturity date of the Revolving Loans. The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions, including mandatory prepayments due in respect of sales of assets, sales of equity securities, events of default and other customary events, with exceptions for non-core business dispositions. The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains customary covenants and negative covenants regarding operation of the Company’s business, including maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as restrictions on dispositions of Company assets. In connection with the Senior ABL Credit Facility, the Company and the Borrowers together with certain subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), have entered into an Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A. dated as of September 29, 2016, which secures all of the loans and credits drawn from the Senior ABL Credit Facility by the Borrowers. The security interests established under the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement include senior secured liens on substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors. The Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the unconditional payment and performance to the lender of all obligations of the Borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility. On March 21, 2017, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility to modify various definitions, including Consolidated EBITDA and the fixed charge coverage ratio, and amend prepayment provisions. On May 12, 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility to amend the definition of capital expenditures and amend the fixed charge coverage ratio effective with the fiscal quarter ending April 2, 2017. On September 21, 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility to amend the definition of Consolidated EBITDA. On November 12, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment suspends the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio covenant through December 31, 2018. The suspension of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant was effective as of October 1, 2017. The Fourth Amendment also adds a minimum revolving credit availability financial covenant. The Fourth Amendment also permits the Company to make infusions of junior capital, which may consist of subordinated debt and/or equity issuances. The junior capital infusions made under the Fourth Amendment will not be subject to mandatory prepayment of the Senior ABL Credit Facility, but subject to certain limitations in respect of outstanding subordinated indebtedness. Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the initial infusion of junior capital in amount of not less than $5.0 million must be completed by the Company no later than January 31, 2018. The minimum revolving credit availability covenant requires the Company to maintain the following availability: (a) at least $1,250,000 in revolving credit availability until the earlier of (i) the initial closing of the infusion of $5.0 million in junior capital and (ii) January 31, 2018; and (b) thereafter, at least $3,500,000 in such revolving credit availability. The Fourth Amendment also reduces the Line Cap (consisting of the lesser of the aggregate revolving credit commitment and the borrowing base) in respect of certain prepayment obligations and conditions precedent to borrowing, by reducing the borrowing base by $1,250,000. The Fourth Amendment contains customary representations and warranties regarding the status of the Company and compliance with all terms and conditions of the Senior ABL Credit Facility. On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Senior ABL Credit Facility (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment extended the maturity date of the Senior ABL Credit Facility from August 10, 2019 to November 11, 2019. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018. Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement On November 10, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $20.0 million, five-year Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with McLarty Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (“McLarty”), which bears interest at 11% annually ; subsequently the Company entered into amendments one through five. In May 2018, McLarty rebranded to become The Firmament Group (“Firmament”). Upon an event of default under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the interest rate increases automatically by 2.00% annually. The proceeds were used to repay certain outstanding loans under the Company’s previous credit facility. ARC’s Chairman is indirectly related to McLarty; therefore, the Board of Directors appointed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to assure that the Subordinated Loan Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders. The Subordinated Loan Agreement has been subordinated to the Senior ABL Credit Facility pursuant to a First Lien Subordination Agreement. The Subordinated Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and prepayment terms that are similar to those contained in the Senior ABL Credit Facility described above. On September 22, 2017, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement to amend the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and the Maximum Total Leverage Ratio. On February 9, 2018, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement to authorize discretionary omission by the administrative agent of certain non-cash items from the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and to include cash proceeds from the Rights Offering as excluded contributions of capital that will not be subject to mandatory prepayment under the terms of the Subordinated Loan Agreement. On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment extended the maturity date of the Subordianated Loan Agreement from November 11, 2019 to February 11, 2020. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Subordinated Credit Facility, after giving effect to the fifth amendment discussed above. Loan Contract On March 23, 2016, AFT-Hungary Kft. (“AFT Hungary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Contract with Erste Bank Hungary Zrt. in an amount equal to €4.0 million (“Loan Contract”). The initial funding of €4.0 million drawn on the Loan Contract occurred on March 31, 2016.
