11.            Credit Facility:

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note (the “Note”), Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement. On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”) pursuant to a First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement and Other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Amended Loan Agreement”) and First Allonge to Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note (the “Amended Note”).

The Amended Credit Facility, which will continue to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, matures on June 30, 2023, at which time the Company must pay all outstanding principal of all outstanding loans plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and any fees, costs and expenses. In addition, the Company will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued and unpaid interest. The interest rate for any borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility is subject to change from time to time based on the changes in the LIBOR Rate, as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement (the “Index”). The Index was 2.50% at September 30, 2021. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Amended Note will be calculated using a rate of 1.75 percentage points over the Index. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of the Amended Credit Facility, interest will be based upon the Benchmark Replacement (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) selected by Citibank after notifying the Company. The Amended Credit Facility is secured by the assets of the Company.

Among other affirmative covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement, which were not amended as part of the Amended Credit Facility, the Company must maintain (i) a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not less than 2.0 to 1.0, (ii) a maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of at least 2.5 to 1.0, and (iii) a minimum Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. Additionally, the Loan Agreement contains negative covenants, which were not amended as part of the Amended Credit Facility, prohibiting, among other things, the creation of certain liens, the alteration of the nature or character of the Company’s business, and transactions with the Company’s shareholders, directors, officers, subsidiaries and/or affiliates other than with respect to (i) the repurchase of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company from the stockholders of the Company or (ii) the declaration and payment of dividends to the stockholders of the Company. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.

On April 13, 2021, Wayside Technology UK Holdings Limited (“Wayside UK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an uncommitted short term credit facility of £8,000,000 (“Uncommitted Credit Facility”) with Citibank N.A., London Branch (“Citibank London”) pursuant to certain terms and conditions. Obligations under the Uncommitted Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and have a maturity date of April 13, 2022, at which time Wayside UK must pay all outstanding principal of all outstanding loans plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and any interest, fees, costs and expenses, if any.

Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Uncommitted Credit Facility will be calculated using a rate of 1.85 percentage points over the Daily Rate, as defined in the Uncommitted Credit Facility. Amounts borrowed under the Uncommitted Credit Facility will be guaranteed by the Company.   The Uncommitted Credit Facility may be cancelled at any time by Citibank London.  Citibank London has the sole discretion to accept or reject any requested utilization of the Uncommitted Credit Facilitation.

At September 30, 2021, Wayside UK had no borrowings outstanding under the Uncommitted Credit Facility.
