Revolving Lines of Credit

 

Excel $2.5M Revolving Line of Credit

 

Effective as of December 14, 2023, we entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement with Excel Family Partners, LLLP, an entity managed by Bruce Cassidy (“Mr. Cassidy”), Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors and our majority stockholder, (“Excel” and the “Excel $2.5M Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) for up to a principal sum of $2,500,000, under which we may pay down and re-borrow up to the maximum amount of the $2,500,000 limit (the “Excel $2.5M Revolving Line of Credit”). Our drawdown on the Excel $2.5M Revolving Line of Credit is limited to no more than 25% of the last three full months’ revenue, not to exceed $1,250,000 in any quarter, and not to exceed in aggregate the outstanding debt amount of $2,500,000. The Excel $2.5M Revolving Line of Credit is a perpetual loan, with a maturity date that is twelve (12) months from the date of formal notice of termination by Excel, and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to 10% per year. Under the Excel $2.5M Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to Excel a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the May 13, 2022, Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) entered into with several institutions and individuals (each, a “RAT Lender”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000 (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit”) and the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit (as defined below), but is subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (each as described below). As a result of the GemCap Litigation Settlement (as described below), this subordination no longer applies. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.”

 

Under the terms of the Excel $2.5M Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, on December 14, 2023, we issued to Excel a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,125,000 shares of our common stock. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.80 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on December 13, 2023, expires on December 14, 2026, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, Excel and its affiliates would beneficially own, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, no more than 29.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

 

On December 3, 2024, and effective retroactively to July 1, 2024, we entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement Amendment with Excel to extend the date on which the first payment of interest is due under the Excel Revolving Line of Credit by one (1) year from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2025.

 

The Excel $2.5 Revolving Line of Credit had a balance, including accrued interest, amounting to $2,774,257 and $2,646,479 as of March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. We incurred interest expense for the Excel Revolving Line of Credit in the amount of $147,495 and $118,284 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively and $294,989 and $118,284 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

 

GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement

 

Effective as of July 29, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Industrial Funding Group, Inc. (the “Initial Lender”) for a revolving loan credit facility for the initial principal sum of up to $4,000,000, and through the exercise of an accordion feature, a total sum of up to $10,000,000 (the “GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”), evidenced by a Revolving Loan Secured Promissory Note, also effective as of July 29, 2022 (the “GemCap Revolving Line of Credit”). In connection with the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement and the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit, we also executed and delivered to the Initial Lender the Loan Agreement Schedule dated as of July 29, 2022 (the “Loan Agreement Schedule”) and other Loan Documents (as defined in the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement). Shortly after the effective date of the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit, the Initial Lender assigned the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, and the Loan Documents, to GemCap Solutions, LLC (“GemCap” or “Senior Lender.”)

 

Effective as of October 27, 2022, we entered into Amendment Number 1 to the Loan and Security Agreement and to the Revolving Loan Agreement Schedule, and the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (Revolving Loans) with the Senior Lender to increase the principal sum available under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000.

 

The GemCap Revolving Line of Credit had an original maturity date of July 29, 2024, and began accruing interest on the unpaid principal balance of advances, payable monthly in arrears, on September 7, 2022, at an annual rate equal to the greater of (I) the sum of (i) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes, plus (ii) 0.00%, and (II) 4.00%. Availability for borrowing under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit was dependent upon our assets in certain eligible accounts and measures of revenue, subject to reduction for reserves that the Senior Lender may require in its discretion, and the accordion feature is a provision whereby we were able to request that the Senior Lender increase availability under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit, subject to its sole discretion.

 

Under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to the Senior Lender a first-priority security interest in all of our present and future property and assets, including products and proceeds thereof. In connection with the loan, our existing secured lenders, some of whom are the RAT Lenders under our RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit (each as defined below) (collectively, the “Subordinated Lenders”) delivered subordination agreements (the “GemCap Subordination Agreements”) to the Senior Lender. We are permitted to make regularly scheduled payments, including payments upon maturity, to such subordinated lenders and potentially other payments subject to a measure of cash flow and receiving certain financing activity proceeds, in accordance with the terms of the GemCap Subordination Agreements. In connection with the delivery of the GemCap Subordination Agreements by the Subordinated Lenders, on July 29, 2022, we issued warrants to each Subordinated Lender on identical terms for an aggregate of up to 296,329 shares of our common stock (each, a “Subordination Agreement Warrant”). Each Subordination Agreement Warrant has an exercise price of $5.25 per share, expires on July 29, 2025, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date. One warrant for 191,570 warrant shares was issued to Eagle Investment Group, LLC, an entity managed by Mr. Cassidy, as directed by its affiliate, Excel, one of the Subordinated Lenders. The Subordinated Lenders receiving warrants for the remaining 104,759 warrant shares were also entitled to receive a cash payment of $22,000 six months from the date of the GemCap Subordination Agreements, representing 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the loan held by such Subordinated Lenders. This cash payment was made to those Subordinated Lenders on January 25, 2023.

 

Effective July 29, 2024, we entered into Amendment Number 2 to the Loan and Security Agreement, the Loan Agreement Schedule, the Revolving Loan Note and to the other Loan Documents (the “Loan Agreement Amendment No. 2”) to amend certain material terms, including (i) to extend the maturity date of the Loan Agreement by one (1) year from July 29, 2024, to July 29, 2025, and (ii) to make Retail Media TV, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary (“RMTV”), a co-borrower thereunder.

 

 

The GemCap Revolving Line of Credit had a balance, including accrued interest, amounting to $0 and $2,916,763 as of March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. We incurred interest expense for the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit in the amount of $0 and $332,332 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $98,367 and $707,962 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release entered into between us and GemCap on November 27, 2024, all amounts, including principal and accrued interest, owing to GemCap were paid off and all of our obligations to GemCap have been extinguished (as discussed below).

 

The GemCap Litigation Settlement

 

On October 29, 2024, we, along with RMTV, received a notice and reservation of rights letter (the “Reservation of Rights Notice”) from GemCap Solutions, LLC (“GemCap” or the “Senior Lender”) under its revolving line of credit facility (the “GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) informing us that events of default had occurred and were continuing under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement as a result of our incurrence of indebtedness under the Bellino Trust $2M Convertible Note (defined below), which, was not expressly subordinated to our indebtedness to the Senior Lender pursuant to a subordination agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Lender.

 

On November 5, 2024, we received an acceleration notice (the “Acceleration Notice”) from GemCap demanding payment of the full amount outstanding on the Revolving Loan Facility by November 8, 2024 (the “Demand”). On November 7, 2024, the Senior Lender orally agreed to suspend the Demand deadline to allow us to enter into negotiations with it for a forbearance of the Demand for a period of time to work toward a mutually agreeable resolution. On November 13, 2024, GemCap rescinded its offer to negotiate a forbearance of the Demand and delivered to us the Lender a Notice of Secured Party Public Sale Pursuant to Section 9-610 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC” and such notice, the “Public Sale Notice”) purporting to set a sale, under the UCC, of our personal property in order to foreclose the security interest it held in and to our assets. Concurrently with the delivery of the Public Sale Notice, GemCap issued a press release announcing the same.

 

Also on November 13, 2024, we filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas San Antonio Division (the “US District Court”) seeking relief against GemCap for breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, and an Application for an Emergency Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction seeking preliminary injunctive relief to prevent GemCap from exercising or continuing to exercise its default remedies under the Loan Documents (the “Federal Court Lawsuit”). On November 15, 2024, the US District Court issued an order (the “US District Court Order”) regarding our application for preliminary injunctive relief, granting in part our application, temporarily enjoining GemCap from auctioning our personal property, but denied the application in all other respects.

 

Following receipt of notice that the US District Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hear our Federal Court Lawsuit, we filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal in the US District Court and on November 21, 2024, we refiled our lawsuit and application for temporary and permanent injunctive relief in the District Court for Bexar County, Texas (the “State Court Lawsuit”). On November 25, 2024, GemCap filed a counterclaim against us, claiming breach of contract and common law fraud and seeking economic and exemplary damages, as well as fees and costs (the “GemCap Counterclaim”). On the same day, we were granted a hearing in the Bexar County District Court in San Antonio, at which our petition for temporary relief was denied (the “Texas State Court Order”).

 

Following the Texas State Court Order, we entered into settlement negotiations with GemCap, and on November 27, 2024, we reached a payoff arrangement pursuant to which we agreed to pay to GemCap a total payoff amount, including outstanding principal, accrued interest and fees and a legal reserve, of $1,644,613.41 (the “Payoff Amount”), and entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with GemCap (the “GemCap Settlement Agreement” and together with the Payoff Amount, the “GemCap Litigation Settlement”), effective as of November 27, 2024, pursuant to which, (a) in return for the Payoff Amount, GemCap was required to release all security interests in our bank accounts, property and intellectual property and, by notice to all parties who received notice of the public sale of our property and by issuance of a press release, cancel the public sale of our property, and (b) each of the Company and GemCap agree to a full release of all claims and counterclaims related to the GemCap Lawsuit, including the State Court Lawsuit and the GemCap Counterclaim, respectively, and such claims were dismissed with prejudice.

 

 

Capital Foundry Revolving Line of Credit

 

Effective as of February 3, 2025, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Capital Foundry Funding, LLC (“Capital Foundry” and such agreement, the “Capital Foundry Loan Agreement”) for a revolving line of credit facility for the principal sum of up to $2.0 million (the “Capital Foundry Loan”), evidenced by a Promissory Note (the “Capital Foundry Note”), also effective as of February 3, 2025.

 

The loan matures on February 2, 2028, or if the term of the Capital Foundry Loan Agreement has been extended, the end of the then current Renewal Term (as such term is defined in the Capital Foundry Loan Agreement) and accrues interest on the unpaid principal balance of advances, payable monthly in arrears, at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes, plus (ii) 750 basis points (7.5%) per annum.

 

Under the Capital Foundry Loan Agreement, we granted to Capital Foundry a first-priority security interest in all of our present and future property and assets, including products and proceeds thereof. In connection with the Capital Foundry Loan, certain of our existing secured lenders, including Excel, and certain equipment financing lenders, have delivered subordination agreements to Capital Foundry (each lender, a “Subordinated Lender” and together, the “Subordinated Lenders”), in form and substance satisfactory, and on terms acceptable, to Capital Foundry (each a “Subordination Agreement”).

 

The Capital Foundry Loan Agreement had a balance, including accrued interest, amounting to $952,492 and $0 as of March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. We incurred interest expense under the Capital Foundry Loan Agreement in the amount of $29,446 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $29,446 and $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

 

Non-Revolving Lines of Credit

 

RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit

 

Effective as of May 13, 2022, we entered into a Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) with several institutions and individuals (each a “RAT Lender” and collectively, the “RAT Lenders”) and RAT Investment Holdings, LP, as administrator of the loan (the “Loan Administrator”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000 (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit”), evidenced by a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “RAT Note”), also effective as of May 13, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit matured eighteen (18) months from the effective date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit (the “Original RAT Line of Credit Maturity Date”) and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to 12% per year. Under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to the RAT Lenders a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (as defined above) and the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement (as defined below) and (each of which are subordinated in connection with our GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (as defined above)). As a result of the GemCap Litigation Settlement (as described above), this subordination no longer applies. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.” In connection with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, on May 13, 2022, we issued a warrant (collectively, the “RAT Loan Warrants”) to each RAT Lender for an aggregate of up to 209,522 shares of our common stock. Each RAT Loan Warrant had an exercise price of $5.25 per share, expires on May 13, 2025, and is exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date.

 

 

Effective as of November 13, 2023, we entered into a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement Amendment (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment”) with the RAT Lenders to: (i) extend the Original RAT Line of Credit Maturity Date from eighteen (18) months to twenty-seven (27) months from the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, or August 13, 2024 (the “First Extended RAT Line of Credit Maturity Date”); and (ii) amend the payment terms of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit such that payment of interest or principal under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement and the RAT Note will be due and payable from November 13, 2023, to the First Extended RAT Line of Credit Maturity Date, as follows (a) one payment of $374,000 on November 13, 2023, and (b) nine (9) monthly payments of principal of $220,000 plus accrued interest, commencing December 13, 2023. In consideration for the extension of the Original RAT Line of Credit Maturity Date, we agreed to amend the terms of the RAT Loan Warrants as well as the Subordination Agreement Warrants issued to the RAT Lenders in connection with the GemCap Subordination Agreements described above to reduce the warrant exercise price to $1.00. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.” We also agreed to apply one-third of the net proceeds of any capital raise that takes place subsequent to the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment, other than proceeds from an equity offering under any at-the-market (“ATM”) program or from an affiliate or insider, toward paying down the then outstanding principal amount due under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit. Pursuant to the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment #1, each RAT Lender agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement restricting the disposal of any shares of our common stock that are issued in connection with the exercise of the RAT Loan Warrants or the Subordination Agreement Warrants for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment #1. Effective as of November 13, 2023, we issued an Amended and Restated Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note Amendment to the Lenders reflecting the extension of the Original RAT Line of Credit Maturity Date.

We issued a Second Amended and Restated Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note, effective April 13, 2024, to the RAT Lenders reflecting the extension of the Original RAT Line of Credit Maturity Date.

 

On May 31, 2024, we entered into a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Waiver and Consent Agreement (the “Waiver and Consent”), with the Loan Administrator, effective as of and contingent upon the closing of the Offerings (each as defined and described below), waiving certain provisions of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment #1, pursuant to which the RAT Lenders agreed to irrevocably waive their rights to receive one-third (1/3) of the net proceeds of any non-affiliate capital raise, including the Offerings, and consent to us not paying any of such proceeds to the RAT Lenders. In consideration for entering into the Waiver and Consent, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the RAT Loan Warrants and the Subordination Agreement Warrants held by the RAT Lenders to purchase an aggregate of 314,281 shares of common stock from $1.00 to $0.24. See “Note 11 – The Registered Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement Offering” below.

May 2023 Secured Loan

 

Effective as of May 10, 2023, we entered into a Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement”) with several individuals and institutional lenders for aggregate loans of up to $4.0 million (the “May 2023 Secured Line of Credit”), evidenced by Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Notes (each a “May 2023 Secured Note” and collectively, the “May 2023 Secured Notes”), also effective as of May 10, 2023. The May 2023 Secured Line of Credit matures twenty-four (24) months from the date of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to 12% per year. We granted to the lenders under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement and the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, but is subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement. As a result of the GemCap Litigation Settlement (as described above), this subordination no longer applies. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.”

 

In connection with the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit, on May 10, 2023, we agreed to issue to each lender under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement, upon drawdown, a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 369,517 shares of our common stock.

On May 31, 2023, we entered into a Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “Excel $2.2M Secured Line of Credit Agreement”) with Excel for an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,200,000 (the “Excel $2.2M Line of Credit”), evidenced by a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Excel $2.2M Note”). Pursuant to the terms of a Pay Off Letter Agreement with Excel dated September 12, 2023, we refinanced the outstanding principal and interest of the Excel $2.2M Line of Credit to be included as part of the obligations of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement. As a result of such refinancing, as of September 12, 2023, no principal or interest remained outstanding under the Excel $2.2M Secured Line of Credit, and the Excel $2.2M Secured Line of Credit Agreement was terminated, and as of September 12, 2023, Excel had loaned $2,266,733 under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement and received a warrant to purchase 209,398 shares of our common stock.

 

As of December 14, 2023, the outstanding principal and interest on Excel’s portion of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit was $2,328,617 (the “Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Pay Off Amount”) of the total aggregate principal and interest outstanding under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit of $3,262,817.

See “—Repricing and Exercise of Certain Warrants.”

Under the Excel $1.0M Secured Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to Excel a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest was subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement. As a result of the GemCap Litigation Settlement (as described above), this subordination no longer applies. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.”

 

On May 31, 2024, we entered into a Waiver and Consent Letter Agreement with Excel (the “Excel Waiver Agreement”), effective as of and contingent upon the closing of the Registered Offering (as defined and described below), waiving certain provisions of the Excel $1.0M Secured Line of Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Excel irrevocably agreed to waive its rights to receive $500,000 of the net proceeds of any non-affiliate capital raise, including the Registered Offering, and consented to us not paying any of such proceeds to it, contingent upon the closing of such a non-affiliate capital raise, including the Registered Offering. See “Note 11 – The Registered Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement Offering” below.

As a result, our obligations under the Excel $1.0M Note were extinguished.

CFG Purchase Agreement

 

On August 27, 2024, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “CFG Purchase Agreement”) with CFG Merchant Solutions, LLC (“CFG”), and Mr. Cassidy, as guarantor (the “CFG Guarantor”). The CFG Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by CFG of our future receipts (the “Future Receipts”) valued at $962,500 (the “Amount Sold”) for a total purchase price of $700,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The percentage of Future Receipts to be paid back on a daily basis is 14.44% (the “Purchased Percentage”), which equals $4,812.60 (the “Daily Amount”). CFG is entitled to collect the Daily Amounts at the end of each week by debiting our bank account by an amount equaling $24,063 (the “Weekly Payment”) until the Amount Sold is paid in full. We granted the Buyer a security interest in certain of our properties, rights and assets, as set forth in the CFG Purchase Agreement, which security interest is subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement. As a result of the GemCap Litigation Settlement (as described above), this subordination no longer applies. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.”

 

 

The CFG Purchase Agreement contains certain customary covenants, including but not limited to the delivery of financial statements to CFG and providing CFG prompt notice upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the CFG Purchase Agreement. We also agreed to certain negative covenants, including but not limited to a prohibition on the creation of additional liens with respect to the collateral and the sale of assets outside of the ordinary course of business, without the prior written consent of CFG.
