Note 5 — Long-Term Debt

Revolving Line of Credit - East West Bank

On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provides for a revolving credit facility with East West Bank in the amount of $4,500,000 with an initial availability of $1,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On December 17, 2021, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Facility, which increased the amount of the revolving loan to $5,000,000 with an initial availability of $2,500,000. The loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 3.5% per annum, and at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the rate was 8.3% and 7.0%, respectively, with a 0.50% unused line fee. We expect that interest rates applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility will be modified upon the implementation of a LIBOR replacement rate that will apply to our current and future borrowings. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is September 30, 2022. All accrued but unpaid interest under the Revolving Credit Facility is payable in monthly installments on each interest payment date until the maturity date when the outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest will be due.

In connection with the amendment, the Company incurred additional deferred financing fees of $4,613 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $400,000 and $400,000, respectively, and deferred financing cost of $33,434 and $96,152, respectively, which are classified as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets. On July 26, 2022, the Company paid the outstanding balance of $400,000 plus accrued interest and terminated the Revolving Credit Facility. (See Note 14 - Subsequent Events).

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by the trade accounts receivable of DDH LLC and guaranteed by the Company. The Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants, and as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.

The components of interest expense and related fees for the lines of credit are as follows:

​

Accrued and unpaid interest as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for the Revolving Credit Facility was $5,814 and $5,553, respectively, related to the unused line fee.

2020 Term Loan Facility and 2021 Credit Facility

In conjunction with the acquisition of Orange142 on September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “2020 Term Loan Facility”) with SilverPeak Credit Partners, LP (“Silverpeak”) in the amount of $12,825,000, maturing on September 15, 2023. Interest in year one was 15%, of which 12% was payable monthly and 3% was paid-in-kind (“PIK”). All accrued but unpaid interest under the 2020 Term Loan Facility was payable in monthly installments on each interest payment date, and the Company was required to repay the outstanding principal balance on January 15 and July 15 of each calendar year in an amount equal to 37.5% of excess cash flow over the preceding six calendar months until the term loan was paid in full. The remaining principal balance, and all accrued but unpaid interest was to be due on the maturity date.

The obligations under the 2020 Term Loan Facility were secured by first-priority liens on all or substantially all assets of DDH LLC and its subsidiaries. The 2020 Term Loan Facility contained a number of financial covenants and customary affirmative covenants. In addition, the 2020 Term Loan Facility included a number of negative covenants, including (subject to certain exceptions) limitations on (among other things): indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, and restricted payments. Each of Mark Walker

(“Walker”), Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Keith Smith (“Smith”), President, provided limited guarantees of the obligations under the 2020 Term Loan Facility.

The maturity date of the 2020 Term Loan Facility was September 15, 2023; however, on December 3, 2021, DDH LLC entered into the Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “2021 Credit Facility”) with Lafayette Square Loan Servicing, LLC (“Lafayette Square”) and used the proceeds to repay and terminate the 2020 Term Loan Facility.

Lafayette Square

On December 3, 2021, DDH LLC entered into the 2021 Credit Facility with Lafayette Square as administrative agent, and the various lenders thereto. The term loan under the 2021 Credit Facility provides for a term loan in the principal amount of up to $32,000,000, consisting of a $22,000,000 closing date term loan and an up to $10,000,000 delayed draw term loan (“Delayed Draw Loan”). The loans under the 2021 Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin minus any applicable impact discount. The applicable margin under the 2021 Credit Facility is determined based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, at a rate of 6.50% per annum if the consolidated total net leverage ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00 and up to 9.00% per annum if the consolidated total net leverage ratio is greater than 4.00 to 1.00. The applicable impact discount under the 2021 Credit Facility is a discount of 0.05% per annum to the extent that DDH LLC adopts certain services intended to improve overall employee satisfaction and retention plus an additional discount of 0.05% per annum to the extent that DDH LLC maintains a B Corp certification by Standards Analysts at the non-profit B Lab (or a successor certification or administrator). We expect that interest rates applicable to the 2021 Credit Facility will be modified upon the implementation of a LIBOR replacement rate that will apply to our current and future borrowings. The maturity date of the 2021 Credit Facility is December 3, 2026.

On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into the Second Amendment and Joinder to Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”) and received proceeds of $4,260,000 borrowed under the Delayed Draw Loan to pay the balance owed on the common unit redemption (See Note 4 – Accrued Liabilities) as well as costs associated with the transaction. The Company also amended certain covenants and quarterly payment requirements under the 2021 Credit Facility. (See Note 14 - Subsequent Events).

The obligations under the 2021 Credit Facility are secured by senior, first-priority liens on all or substantially all assets of DDH LLC and its subsidiaries and are guaranteed by the subsidiaries of DDH LLC and include a pledge and guarantee by the Company. The 2021 Credit Facility is subject to an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility have a priority lien on the trade accounts receivable of DDH LLC and its subsidiaries that constitute eligible accounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and related proceeds, and the lenders under the 2021 Credit Facility have a priority lien on all other collateral. In connection with the entry into the 2021 Credit Facility, we paid off in full and terminated the 2020 Term Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owed a balance on the 2021 Credit Facility of $21,725,000. Financing costs incurred in the transaction were initially $2,127,185 in 2021 and additional fees of $180,480 were incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Unamortized deferred financing costs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $2,038,438 and $2,091,732, respectively. Accrued and unpaid interest was $0 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The components of interest expense and related fees for the 2020 Term Loan Facility and 2021 Credit Facility are as follows:

U.S. Small Business Administration Loans

Economic Injury Disaster Loan

In 2020, the Company applied and was approved for a loan pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”), administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Company received the loan proceeds of $150,000 on June 15, 2020. The loan

bears interest at a rate of 3.75% and matures on June 15, 2050. Installment payments, including principal and interest, of $731 will be payable monthly beginning June 15, 2022. Each payment will first be applied to pay accrued interest, then the remaining balance will be used to reduce principal. The loan is secured by substantially all assets of DDH LLC.

Accrued and unpaid interest expense as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $11,428 and $8,647, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Paycheck Protection Program

In 2020, the Company applied and was approved for a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the SBA (the “PPP-1 Loan”). The PPP was authorized in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and was designed to provide a direct financial incentive for qualifying business to keep their workforce employees. The SBA made PPP loans available to qualifying businesses in amounts up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll expenses, and loans should be forgivable after a “covered period” (eight or twenty-four weeks) as long as the borrower maintains its payroll and utilities.

The forgiveness amount will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries and wages more than 25% during the covered period. Any unforgiven portion is payable over two years if issued before, or five years if issued after, June 5, 2020 at an interest rate of 1.0% with payments deferred until the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender, or if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness, then months after the end of the covered period.

DDH LLC received the PPP-1 Loan proceeds of $287,100 on May 8, 2020. On February 16, 2021, the remaining $10,000 balance of the PPP-1 Loan was forgiven. In March 2021, DDH LLC applied for and received another PPP loan (the “PPP-2 Loan”) for a principal amount of $287,143 and there are no collateral or guarantee requirements. On April 11, 2022, the balance on the PPP-2 Loan was forgiven.

As of June 30, 2022, future minimum payments related to long-term debt is as follows for the years ended December 31:
