- Credit Facility: Revolving loan with an initial Account Limit of up to $10 million.

Material Changes and Potential Capacity Expansion
The filing outlines a mechanism to increase credit availability post-closing. Subject to an acceptable appraisal and the pledge of real estate collateral, the Account Limit is expected to increase by the lesser of:
- 50% of the appraised value of the real estate, or
- $5 million.
This represents a potential material increase in liquidity capacity compared to the initial $10 million limit.
Costs, Fees, and Risks
The agreement includes specific fees and termination penalties:
- Collateral Management Fee: 0.10% monthly on the Account Limit.
- Non-Usage Fee: 0.25% quarterly on the average unused portion of the Account Limit.
- Commitment Fee: 1.0% of the Account Limit, paid at closing and annually.
- Early Termination Fee: 2.50% of the Account Limit if terminated with >12 months remaining; 1.50% if
Risks: The facility is secured by a blanket lien on assets, and the company must maintain a specific Tangible Net Worth threshold. Failure to meet covenants could trigger default.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's current Tangible Net Worth to ensure compliance with the $11 million minimum covenant.
- Confirm the status of the real estate appraisal required to unlock the potential $5 million credit expansion.
- Review the impact of the new interest rate floor (5.50%) and fees on future interest expense.
- Assess the implications of the blanket security interest on future borrowing capacity or asset sales.
