Financing Instruments | Financing Instruments. (a) Loan and Security Agreement . The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., effective September 1, 2010 (“Loan Agreement”), as amended from time to time, which provides a $12 million revolver loan (“Revolver Loan”) maturing in accordance with the following events: the earliest to occur of (a) March 31, 2019 , or (b) 90 days prior to the maturity date of the Enhanced Note (as defined in (b)(i) below). Based on the current maturity of the Enhanced Note, the actual maturity date of the Loan Agreement is September 11, 2017. The Company granted Bank of America a continuing security interest in and lien upon all Company assets. The base interest rate is determined according to a tiered level applicable margin which provides for varying interest rates based on varying fixed charge coverage ratios. The Company has three material debt covenants to comply with on the Loan Agreement: (i) capital expenditures are limited to $625,000 on an annual basis, (ii) the amount outstanding under the revolver Loan may not exceed the Borrowing Base (calculation defined as an amount determined by a detailed calculation and includes an amount equal to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 55% of eligible inventory up to $6 million, or if the Company elects to have an inventory appraisal performed, the lesser of, 65% of eligible inventory or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value percentage of the value of eligible inventory, up to $6 million); and (iii) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, tested monthly as of the last day of each calendar month for the twelve month period then ended, of at least 1.0 to 1.0. The Company is required to submit its Borrowing Base calculation to Bank of America weekly. If, at any time, the Company’s Borrowing Base calculation is less than the amount outstanding under the Revolver Loan, and that amount remains unpaid or future Borrowing Base calculations do not increase to an amount equal to the balance outstanding under the Revolver Loan, Bank of America, in its sole discretion, may accelerate any and all amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance outstanding on the Revolver Loan was $3.5 million and $6.7 million, and the weighted-average interest rate was 4.0% and 4.6% , respectively. Cash available under our Revolver Loan based on the borrowing base calculation at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $5.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. At March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its Loan Agreement debt covenants. (b) Note Purchase Agreement . (i) Enhanced Note . The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC (“Enhanced Jobs”) and Enhanced Credit Supported Loan Fund, LP (“Enhanced Credit”), on December 10, 2013, issuing an aggregate of $7.2 million in subordinated secured promissory notes maturing December 31, 2017 (“Enhanced Note”), of which $5.7 million was to Enhanced Credit and $1.5 million was to Enhanced Jobs. Repayment of the Enhanced Note is required on the maturity date of December 10, 2017. The interest rate of 11.5% per annum is payable monthly and will increase to 12.5% per annum if the Enhanced Note has a balance greater than $4 million after April 30, 2016. The Company has the right to prepay the Enhanced Note and the Chairman has committed to ensure funding is in place at least ninety ( 90 ) days prior to the maturity date of the Enhanced Note so the maturity date on our Loan Agreement with Bank of America is not accelerated. The Company also entered into a security agreement with the Enhanced Note providing for a second lien on all assets of the Company after Bank of America, which has a first lien on all assets of the Company. The Company has four material debt covenants to comply with relating to its Enhanced Note: (i) capital expenditures are limited to $625,000 on an annual basis, (ii) a minimum [Adjusted] EBITDA, which cannot for the three months ending on the last day of each month, be less than the corresponding amount set forth in the schedule for such period, (iii) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, tested monthly as of the last day of each calendar month, in each case for the most recently completed twelve calendar months, equal to a minimum ratio set forth in the schedule for such month, and (iv) maintain minimum liquidity of $500,000 . A purchase discount of $543,000 is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the three year term of the Enhanced Note. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance outstanding on the Enhanced Note was $7.6 million and $7.5 million, and the effective interest rate was 23.7% and 23.6% , respectively.

The Company, in exchange for Guarantor’s personal guarantee of the obligations under the Enhanced Note, granted Guarantor 3.7 million shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, which shares vest monthly on a pro rata basis over the original three year term of the Enhanced Note (“Guaranty Shares”). The Guaranty Shares were valued at $0.60 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on OTC Markets on the day preceding the closing date of December 10, 2013, for an aggregate amount of $2.2 million. The Guaranty Shares are being recorded as interest expense – related party, thereby increasing the effective interest rate of the Enhanced Note. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 2.8 million and 2.5 million Guaranty Shares vested, valued and recorded at $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

As consideration for the Commitment, the Company granted Mr. Kurtz a fully vested and exercisable stock option to purchase 500 ,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on on November 12, 2015, determined based on the per share closing price on such date, or $0.294 per share, for a term of eight (8) years. The transaction was valued at approximately $47 ,000, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and fully expensed on the date of grant. Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Commitment will be superseded and become null and void in the event and to the extent that, at or before the time the Commitment is due, the Obligations are repaid in full in immediately available cash on or prior to August 31, 2016. In connection with the Company's payment of $500 ,000 in principal to Mr. Kurtz during the fourth quarter of 2015 for the Notes Payable - Related Party, Mr. Kurtz made a principal payment of $150 ,000 towards paying down the Enhanced Note.
