8. SENIOR DEBT

On October 28, 2015, the Company, through its main operating entity Jus-Com, Inc. entered into an $8 million senior credit facility. The facility has a two year term, and calls for interest payments in the amount of 12%, paid quarterly in arrears. Additionally, there is a “payment in kind” (PIK) provision which calls for a 4% per annum increase in the principal balance monthly. The facility is a senior credit facility, and is secured by principally all assets of the Company. The uses of the senior facility are to retire the existing senior debt and related accrued interest through a tender offer, retire the factoring line of credit, pay certain senior loan closing costs, settle certain pending litigation, and provide working capital to the Company. A “blocked” bank deposit account, controlled by the lender, was also initially established in the amount of $3,000 to be held for future advances. The Company is prohibited from an early payoff of the facility until October 28, 2017. There are several affirmative and negative covenants the Company must comply with, such as minimum bank account balances, minimum EBITDA thresholds, capital expenditures, leverage ratio, and debt service coverage ratio. As a condition of the facility, the Company issued 163,441 shares of its Series D preferred stock and 391,903 shares of its Series F preferred stock to the lender. As a result of a market valuation performed on this transaction by a qualified third party valuation firm, an original issue discount of $437 was determined, which will be amortized on a straight line method, which approximates the interest rate method, over a twenty four month period to interest expense. During the period ended December 31, 2016, $249 was included in amortization of debt discount, and $237 remained unamortized as of December 31, 2016. On April 5, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment agreement to its existing credit facility with Lateral, amending the original credit agreement signed October 28, 2015. The agreement amends select provisions of the original credit agreement, including equity raises and changes to certain financial and operational covenants. On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment agreement to its existing credit facility, maturing October 28, 2017, amending the original credit agreement signed October 28, 2015. The agreement was amended solely to consolidate a series of short term bridge loans granted to the company from time to time during the second and third quarter of 2016 into a $2.5 million loan, with a maturity date of April 30, 2017. The second amendment also amended the covenants related to consolidated EBITDA consolidated leverage, consolidated debt service, SG&A expenses, and compensation expense. On April 20, 2017, in conjunction with the acquisition of Benchmark, Lateral amended its existing credit facility to provide for $11,480 of which approximately $10.1 million went towards the cash purchase price, combining this new advance with the existing debt, extending the maturity date of the combined facility to March 31, 2019. The Company incurred deferred financing cost of approximately $890 in amending the original credit agreement with Lateral in conjunction with the acquisition of Benchmark to provide for partial financing of $10,110 towards the cash purchase price, refinancing this new advance with the existing debt, extending the maturity date of the facility to March 31, 2019. The Company issued 256,801 shares of common stock to Lateral with a fair value of $5,651 in connection with this amendment. Deferred financing cost are included within the senior note payable on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reclassified 444,275 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $437 to its senior lender from temporary equity to permanent equity which is now included in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Reclassification was due to the put provision from the Lateral senior credit agreement dated October 28, 2015 was removed when the agreement was amended for the Benchmark acquisition on April 20, 2017.

The required principal payments for all borrowings for each of the five years following the balance sheet date are as follows:
