On August 10, 2017, the Company entered into the 2017 Amended Credit Agreement with East West Bank. The 2017 Amended Credit Agreement originally allowed us to borrow up to 85% of our eligible receivables and up to 85% of the appraised value of our eligible equipment. The Fifth Amendment entered into on September 23, 2020 restructured the loan by exchanging $16.0 million of the loan into the Company's equity and converting the remaining principal balance to a $17.0 million equipment term loan and a revolver to provide the Company with a maximum $1.0 million line of credit. The Sixth Amendment effective January 1, 2021 further extended the maturity date and modified the financial covenants effective January 1, 2021. The Seventh Amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility dated April 26, 2021 (the "Seventh Amendment") provided for amortization of the loan on a 10-year straight-line basis commencing on November 15, 2021 and continuing until maturity on October 15, 2022. Interest on the 2017 Amended Credit Facility was fixed at 8.25%. Interest on the first 5.25% was calculated monthly and paid in arrears, while the remaining 3.00% would have been accrued to the loan balance through October 15, 2022, and due with all remaining outstanding principal on the maturity date. Additionally, the 2017 Amended Credit Facility was subject to an unused credit line fee of 0.5% per annum multiplied by the amount by which total availability exceeded the average monthly balance of the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, payable monthly in arrears. The 2017 Amended Credit Facility was collateralized by substantially all our assets and subject to financial covenants.

Under the 2017 Amended Credit Agreement, we were subject to the following financial covenants:

(1) On December 31, 2021, we were required to maintain liquidity of not less than $1.5 million; and

(2) For each trailing three-month period, commencing with the three-month period ending March 31, 2021, we were required to achieve gross revenue of at least seventy percent (70%) of our projected gross revenue; and

(3) We were limited to a capital expenditures cap of $1.2 million for any fiscal year that the loan remained outstanding.

On November 12, 2021, we entered into the Eighth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with East West Bank which, among other things, provided for a waiver of default of the revenue covenant based upon our October trailing three-month period gross revenue and a reforecasting of our November and December revenues from what was previously provided to East West Bank. Per the Eighth Amendment, the revenue covenant utilizing October’s revenues was waived and was not used in any future three-month period gross revenue covenant calculation. For the month ended November 30, 2021, covenant compliance was to be measured at 80% of reforecast November revenues. Covenant compliance for the month ended December 31, 2021 was to be measured at 80% of the reforecast November and December revenues. Beginning for the month ended January 31, 2022 and continuing until March 31, 2022, revenue covenant compliance was to be measured at 80% of the trailing three months forecasted gross revenues. Beginning the month ended April 30, 2022 and continuing through September 30, 2022, covenant compliance was to be measured at 70% of the trailing three months forecasted gross revenues, except for the months ended April 30, 2022 and May 31, 2022, as those would include an 80% requirement for the months of February 2022 and March 2022. Upon execution of the Eighth Amendment, the Company paid East West Bank a fee of $70,000 for the October revenue waiver and the Eight Amendment.

In connection with amending the 2017 Amended Credit Agreement on September 23, 2020, the Company issued to East West Bank 533,334 shares of Company common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. The 533,334 shares of Company common stock were valued at a price of $2.0775 per share, or a total value of $1.1 million. The 533,334 common shares issued to East West Bank could not be sold or transferred prior to March 23, 2021. The warrant for 1,000,000 shares was exercisable beginning September 23, 2021 until September 23, 2025. The fair value of the warrant was determined to be $1.4 million and was recorded in "Additional paid-in capital" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a total gain on the debt restructuring of $11.9 million during the third quarter of 2020, which was calculated by subtracting from the $16.0 million loan forgiveness, a) the future interest payable on the 2017 Amended Credit Facility; b) the value of the Company common stock issued; and c) the fair value of the warrant.

In December 2021, the Company sent several assets that were no longer being utilized to a live auction. The assets were sold at the auction for net proceeds of $272,000, which was applied to the equipment term loan as a payment of principal upon receipt on December 23, 2021. The Company's 2017 Amended Credit Agreement was refinanced effective March 24, 2022 (see "The Refinancing" below).

The Refinancing

On March 24, 2022, the Company completed a refinancing transaction (the “Refinancing”) in which it terminated its existing, aforementioned 2017 Amended Credit Facility with the East West Bank, which had an outstanding principal balance of $13.8 million at the time of extinguishment. Pursuant to the pay-off letter dated as of March 18, 2022 by the Company, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and East West Bank, in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the East West Bank 2017 Amended Credit Facility, the Company paid East West Bank $8.4 million in cash and agreed to pay East West Bank 5.00% of the net proceeds that the Company receives under the Receivables Financing (as defined below), up to a maximum of $1.0 million ("EWB Obligation").

As part of the Refinancing, Heat Waves entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the “Utica Facility”) with Utica Leaseco, LLC (“Utica”), pursuant to which Utica provided an equipment-collateralized loan to the Company in the amount of $6.225 million. Under the Utica Facility, the Company is required to make 51 monthly payments with initial payments beginning at $168,075 each and a surcharge of 1% of the monthly payment amount per month for every 0.25% that the prime rate of Comerica Bank exceeds 3.25%. The aforementioned surcharge is discretionary on the part of Utica and will be calculated on July 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023, and on each July 1 and January 1 thereafter. This surcharge will be added to the monthly Basic Rent (as such term is defined in the Master Lease Agreement) due under the Utica Facility, and be due and payable with the next regularly scheduled Basic Rent payment under such schedule and on each payment date thereafter. At the end of the fifty-one month term, the Company is required to make a residual payment to Utica between 1% and 10% of the initial principal amount, or between $62,250 and $622,500 depending upon the Company’s ratio of EBITDA to the sum of interest payments, cash paid for taxes and current debt and capital lease payments during the period. The Utica Facility is secured by all the Company’s equipment and proceeds from such equipment should the incumbered equipment be sold. The Company also has the option, after twelve months, to prepay $1.0 million of the Utica Facility in exchange for a reduced payment schedule. The Company has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Heat Waves under the Utica Facility pursuant to an unsecured Master Lease Guaranty with Utica.

Additionally, as part of the Refinancing and in accordance with ASC 470-10-45, the Company classified approximately $5.4 million of its outstanding $14.1 million 2017 Amended Credit Facility with East West Bank as a long-term liability versus a current liability on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. This $5.4 million represents the amount of indebtedness under the Company's Utica Facility that is due and payable more than twelve months from the balance sheet date of December 31, 2021. The other facilities consummated as part of the Refinancing were considered for long-term liability treatment versus current liability treatment, however management felt that the Utica Facility was the only resulting component of the Refinancing that should be treated in accordance with ASC 470-10-45.

Further, as part of the Refinancing, Heat Waves entered into an Invoice Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Financing” or “LSQ Facility,” and together with the Utica Facility, the “2022 Financing Facilities”) with LSQ Funding Group, LLC (“LSQ”) pursuant to which LSQ provides receivables factoring to Heat Waves. Under the Receivables Financing, LSQ advances up to 85% on accounts receivable factored by Heat Waves, up to a maximum of $10.0 million. LSQ receives fees equal to 0.1% of the receivables purchased in addition to a funds usage daily fee of 0.021% of the outstanding balance purchased. The Receivables Financing initially has an 18-month term that can be terminated upon payment of certain fees. The Receivables Financing is secured by a security interest in Heat Wave’s accounts receivables and proceeds from such accounts receivable. Heat Wave’s obligations under the Receivables Financing are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to an unsecured Entity Guaranty.

The Utica Facility and the LSQ Facility are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement dated on or about March 24, 2022 by and among Utica, LSQ, Heat Waves, and the Company (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).

Lastly, as part of the Refinancing, the Company issued a $1.2 million convertible subordinated note (the “March 2022 Convertible Note”) to Cross River Partners, LP (“Cross River”), which is an entity controlled by Richard Murphy, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The March 2022 Convertible Note has a six-year term and accrues interest at 7% per annum. The Company is required to make quarterly interest only payments under the March 2022 Convertible Note for the first year starting June 30, 2022, followed by principal and interest payments for the remaining five years based upon a ten-year amortization schedule. The March 2022 Convertible Note is unsecured and subordinated to any secured debt obligations, including the Utica Facility and the Receivable Financing. Subject to any required stockholder approval, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the March 2022 Convertible Note is convertible at the option of Cross River into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the five days prior to the date of any such conversion.

In accordance with ASC 470-60, the Company assessed whether or not the Refinancing met the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). Management's assessment of TDR accounting treatment for the Refinancing determined that the 2017 Amended Credit Agreement was extinguished as the result of a TDR; however, TDR accounting did not apply to the 2022 Financing Facilities as the 2017 Amended Credit Facility was settled in full and therefore accounted for as a debt extinguishment.

Subordinated Debt with Related Party

On December 21, 2021, the Company issued a subordinated non-convertible promissory note to Cross River, a related party, for $220,000 required for a $210,000 due diligence deposit made to a third-party potential lender who showed interest in refinancing the East West Bank 2017 Amended Credit Facility. The subordinated debt was due upon the earlier of June 21, 2022, or completion of the refinancing of the East West Bank 2017 Amended Credit Facility. Cross River will also be paid a loan fee of $10,000 upon repayment of the subordinated debt, which is in substance interest. Accordingly, the Company recorded a debt discount of $10,000 which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company amortized approximately $5,000 to “Interest expense” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company and the potential lender agreed that they could not reach amenable terms, and the deal was canceled. Upon cancellation, total payments of approximately $162,000 were returned to Cross River from the third-party potential lender, and the subordinated debt was reduced by the same amount at that time.

We capitalized certain debt discount and debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the 2017 Amended Credit Facility and the Utica Facility discussed above and these costs were amortized to interest expense over the terms of the facilities on a straight-line basis. There was approximately $223,000 of remaining unamortized debt discount for the Utica Facility as of March 31, 2022. There were no remaining unamortized debt issuance costs for the 2017 Amended Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company amortized approximately $2,000 of these costs to “Interest expense” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Aggregate contractual principal maturities of debt for the twelve months ending March 31 are as follows (in thousands):

On September 22, 2022, the Company issued a $750,000 Revolving Promissory Note (the “Cross River Revolver”) to Cross River Partners, LP (“Cross River”), a related party. The Cross River Revolver is structured as a revolving credit facility to the Company with advances to be made on an ad hoc basis by Cross River to the Company. The Cross River Revolver has a one-year term and accrues interest at 8.00% per annum. Prior to the September 22, 2023 maturity date, the Company is required to make principal payments to Cross River upon demand with thirty (30) days’ notice. The Cross River Revolver is not convertible into the Company’s equity and is to be secured by certain of the Company’s owned real property located in North Dakota.

On July 15, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible Subordinated Promissory Note (the “July 2022 Convertible Note”) with Cross River whereby the Company received $1.2 million of capital for general working capital purposes. The July 2022 Convertible Note matures six years from the date of issuance and carries interest at the rate of 7.75% per annum. The Company is required to make quarterly interest-only payments for the first year starting September 30, 2022, followed by principal and interest payments for the remaining five years based upon a ten year amortization schedule. The July 2022 Convertible Note is unsecured and junior and subordinate to indebtedness which the Company may now or at any time hereafter owe to any lender. Subject to any required stockholder approval, all or some of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the March 2022 Convertible Note is convertible at the option of Cross River into (i) common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.69 per share; or (ii) equity securities issued by the Company in an equity offering with minimum offering proceeds to the Company (net of any related placement agent or underwriting fees) of $1,200,000 at the conversion price per equity security issued in such equity offering.
