NOTE 10. LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

Long-term liabilities consisted of the following at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Share Redemption Consideration Obligation. On May 6, 2019, we issued a promissory note in the face amount of $39,096,401 to Triangulum in connection with the share redemption disclosed in Note 1. In the litigation that followed the share redemption (Note 11), Triangulum is disputing, among other things, the validity of the note and has not accepted its terms. Because Triangulum disputes the promissory note issued by the Company and its terms, the promissory note has not been given accounting effect in the Company’s financial statements. The Company has instead recorded a long-term obligation payable to Triangulum, based on the redemption value specified in our Articles of Incorporation. The obligation is classified as long-term because we do not expect that a final agreement with respect to the litigation will be reached between the parties in the next twelve months. We may repay the Redemption Consideration Obligation at any time but no later than May 6, 2029; however, there can be no assurance that Triangulum will accept such payments. Additional share redemption consideration is being accrued at 2% on the Redemption Consideration Obligation, and we paid the first annual payment on May 5, 2020, in the amount of $781,928, which was accepted by Triangulum. The Redemption Consideration Obligation is unsecured and is subordinated to our existing and future indebtedness.

Nevada State Bank (“NSB”) Credit Agreement. The Company is party to a Credit Agreement with Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which was last amended on November 16, 2020. The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan in the initial amount of $11,000,000 and a Revolving Loan in the amount of $1,000,000. On March 12, 2020, the Company drew down $1,000,000 on the Revolving Loan component of the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2020, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan component of the Credit Agreement was $7,265,300, bringing the total amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2020, to $8,265,300.

Under the Credit Agreement, outstanding balances accrue interest based on one-month U.S. dollar London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an Applicable Margin of 3.50% or 4.00%, depending on our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement). Effective December 31, 2021, LIBOR will no longer serve as a reference rate for bank loans, among other investment classes. The Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement stipulates that an alternative reference rate will be selected and used in lieu of LIBOR.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, contains affirmative and negative financial covenants and other restrictions customary for borrowings of this nature. In particular, we are required to make Maintenance Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in any fiscal year of no more than 5% of the total revenues realized in the prior fiscal year.  At December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with this covenant. In addition, we are required to maintain (i) a minimum trailing-four-quarters Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 1.25x; (ii) a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 7.25x (with semi-annual step-downs of 0.25x every six months, commencing June 30, 2020 through December 31, 2022 (the current required Total Leverage Ratio is 6.75x) and (iii) a maximum Senior Leverage  Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.00x. We were not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio and Senior Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2020. In the Forbearance and Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated August 14, 2020, (the “Fifth Amendment”), NSB agreed to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies as a result of a default under one or more of these covenants through April 1, 2021. The Fifth Amendment also imposed a new Minimum EBITDA covenant pursuant to which the Company must demonstrate trailing-four-quarter EBITDA of $2.4 million for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 and $3.0 million thereafter. On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement with Zions Bancorporation N.A., dba Nevada State Bank (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment changed the trailing-four-quarter Minimum EBITDA covenant from $3.0 million to $2.4 million for each fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 and thereafter. The Company was not in compliance with the Minimum EBITDA covenant (as revised in the Seventh Amendment) as of December 31, 2020. As further described in Note 13 “Subsequent Events”, on March 29, 2021, the Company and NSB entered in an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Agreement”). Among other things, the A&R Agreement extended the forbearance under the Fifth Agreement to the Minimum EBITDA covenant as measured on December 31. 2020. On October 26, 2020, the Company and NSB entered into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated August 14, 2018 (the “Sixth Amendment”) in connection with the Company’s borrowing under the MSPLP. The Sixth Amendment added a Minimum Liquidity covenant requiring that the Company have cash and cash equivalents of no less than $1.5 million at quarter ends through and including June 30, 2021, and $2.5 million thereafter. The Company was in compliance with the Minimum Liquidity covenant as of December 31, 2020.

Paycheck Protection Program Borrowings. On April 17, 2020, the Company obtained an unsecured loan of $835,300 through Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank under the PPP Loan pursuant to the CARES Act and the Flexibility Act. The Paycheck Protection Program is administered by the United States Small Business Administration. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company used proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs.

Under the terms of the CARES and Flexibility Acts, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the Paycheck Protection Program. On July 16, 2020, the Company filed an application and supporting documentation for forgiveness in full of the PPP Loan. On November 21, 2020, the Company received notification the PPP Loan had been forgiven in full, including $4,943 in accrued interest.

Mainstreet Priority Loan Borrowings (“MSPLP”). On October 26, 2020, the Company obtained an unsecured loan of $4,000,000 through Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act.

The MSPLP bears interest at a rate of three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus 300 basis points (initially 3.215%), and interest payments during the first year will deferred and added to the loan balance. The MSPLP has a five-year final maturity, with 15% of principal amortizing in each of years three and four. The MSPLP, plus accrued and unpaid interest, may be prepaid at any time at par. While the MSPLP is outstanding, and for one year after it is repaid in full, the Company may not 1) repurchase stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, or 2) pay compensation to executive officers that exceeds the total compensation they received in 2019. The entire outstanding principal balance of the MSPLP, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable in full on October 26, 2025. The terms of the MSPLP provide for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to a failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and covenants, and the occurrence of certain events. The MSPLP is secured by a security interest in the assets of the Company, which security interest is pari passu with the security interest granted under the Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2020, future maturities of our long-term obligations are as follows:
