The prepayment amount will be equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, any accrued and unpaid interest and all other fees, expenses and obligations including an Early Termination Fee of $301,200.
 
At Closing, the Company paid the Lender a non-refundable commitment fee of $150,600. If any principal, interest or other sum due by the Company is not paid on the date on which it is due, the Company is obligated to pay to the Lender an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable laws (the “Late Payment Charge”). All fees hereunder are non-refundable and deemed fully earned when due and payable.
 
The Company’s obligation under the Term Loan and Security Agreement are secured by: (1) a first priority perfected security interest in all tangible and intangible existing and future personal property and real property of the Company.
 
The Term Loan and Security Agreement contains covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements. These include covenants relating to establishment of reserves for the payment of taxes, insurance and capital replacements (under certain circumstances), maintaining a collection account, financial reporting and notification, payment of indebtedness, taxes and other obligations, and compliance with certain applicable laws. There are also financial covenants that require the Company to (i) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges for the four most recent fiscal quarters) of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 and (ii) maintain a EBITDA for each fiscal year of at least $2,800,000. The Term Loan and Security Agreement also imposes certain customary limitations and requirements on the Company with respect to, among other things, the maintenance of properties, access to real property, insurance, compliance with laws, maintenance of books and records, inspection rights, environmental matters, indemnity, healthcare operations, right of first refusal for future financing, incurrence of indebtedness and liens, the making of investments, the payment of distributions or making of other restricted payments, healthcare matters, mergers, acquisitions and dispositions of assets, and transactions with affiliates.
 
The Term Loan and Security Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: non-payment of obligations under the Term Loan and Security Agreement when due; the material inaccuracy of any representations or warranties; a violation of covenants in the Term Loan and Security Agreement (subject, in the case of certain such covenants, to cure periods); a default related to other material debt or uninsured loss in excess of $100,000; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; judgments for the payment of money in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate that remains unpaid or unstayed and undischarged for a period of 30 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired; and a change of control of the Company. The occurrence and continuance of an event of default could result in, among other things, amounts owing under the Term Loan and Security Agreement being accelerated, payment of the Early Termination Fee and the Term Loan and Security Agreement being terminated.
 
The Company incurred deferred financing costs of $335,986 for the year ended August 31, 2014 related to this loan.
 
During the continuance of any default, the applicable interest rate on all obligations owing under the Term Loan and Security Agreement is the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; or (b) 3% per annum over the current interest rate otherwise applicable.
