On January 24, 2011, we entered into a $2,550 Term Loan (“Term Loan”) with PNC Bank to refinance the mortgage on our Compton Facility. The Term Loan was payable in 119 consecutive monthly principal payments of $21 plus interest commencing on February 1, 2011 and followed by a 120th payment of all unpaid principal, interest and fees on February 1, 2021. The Revolving Credit Agreement required a balloon payment of $1,020 in principal plus interest and additional fees due on January 31, 2017. The Term Loan was collateralized with our California facility located in Compton, California. As disclosed by the Company in Item 2.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2017, the Term Loan was paid off in full on January 25, 2017 when the Compton Facility was sold.

 

MidCap Financial Trust

 

On May 10, 2017, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap Financial Trust”), as a lender and as agent for itself and other lenders under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides us with a $12 million revolving line of credit, which may be increased to $16 million under certain terms and conditions (the “MidCap Revolver”). The Credit Agreement has a stated maturity date of May 10, 2020, if not renewed. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The lender is also secured by an inventory repurchase agreement with Whirlpool Corporation for Whirlpool purchases only. The Credit Agreement requires that we meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00 for the applicable measuring period as of the end of each calendar month. The applicable measuring period is (i) the period commencing May 1, 2017 and ending on the last day of each calendar month from May 31, 2017 through April 30, 2018, and (ii) the twelve-month period ending on the last day of such calendar month thereafter. The Credit Agreement limits the amount of other debt we can incur, the amount we can spend on fixed assets, and the amount of investments we can make, along with prohibiting the payment of dividends.

 

The amount of revolving borrowings available under the Credit Agreement is based on a formula using receivables and inventories. We may not have access to the full $12 million revolving line of credit due to the formula using our receivables and inventories and the amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Lender. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit is the one month LIBOR rate plus four and one-half percent (4.50%).

 

On July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement is $2,517 and $0, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the period of May 10, 2017 through July 1, 2017 was 5.73%. We borrowed $16,030 and repaid $14,964 on the Credit Agreement during the period of May 10, 2017 through July 1, 2017, leaving an outstanding balance on the Credit Agreement of $1,066 and $0 at July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

On June 16, 2017, we entered into a financing agreement with AFCO Credit Corporation (“AFCO”) to fund the annual premiums on insurance policies purchased through Marsh Insurance. These policies relate to workers’ compensation and various liability policies including, but not limited to, General, Auto, Umbrella, Property, and Directors’ and Officers’.  The total amount of the premiums financed is $1,070 with an interest rate of 3.567%. An initial down payment of $160 was paid on June 16, 2017 and an additional 10 monthly payments of $92 will be made beginning July 1, 2017 and ending April 1, 2018. The outstanding principal at the end of July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $820 and $0, respectively.

 

On March 10, 2011, AAP entered into three separate commercial term loans (“BB&T Term Loans”) with Branch Banking Trust Company, as successor to Susquehanna Bank, (“BB&T”) pursuant to the guidelines of the U.S. Small Business Administration 7(a) Loan Program.  The total amount of the BB&T Term Loans was $4,750, divided into three separate loans of $2,100; $1,400; and $1,250, respectively. The BB&T Term Loans matured in ten years and bore an interest rate of prime plus 2.75%.  As of July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016, the interest rate was 6.50% and 6.00%, respectively.  Borrowings under the BB&T Term Loans were secured by substantially all of the assets of AAP along with liens on the business assets and certain personal assets of the owners of 4301 Operations, LLC. We were a guarantor of the BB&T Term Loans along with 4301 Operations, LLC and its members. In connection with the BB&T Term Loans, BB&T had a security interest in the recycling equipment assets of the Company. The BB&T Term Loans entered into by AAP were paid in full on August 15, 2017 and BB&T’s security interest in the recycling equipment assets of the Company was terminated and released. Please see Note 14, Subsequent Events, of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

  

On November 8, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Energy Efficiency Investments, LLC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue up to $7,732 principal amount of 3% Original Issue Discount Senior Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company and related common stock purchase warrants. These notes will be issued from time to time, up to such aggregate principal amount, at the request of the Company, subject to certain conditions, or at the option of Energy Efficiency Investments, LLC. Interest accrues at the rate of eight percent per annum on the principal amount of the notes outstanding from time to time, and is payable at maturity or, if earlier, upon conversion of these notes. The principal amount of these notes outstanding at July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, was $103.
