Item 5. Other Information
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On August 11, 2020, Energy Focus, Inc. (the “Company” or “Borrower”) entered into two debt financing arrangements (collectively, the “Facilities”).
The first arrangement was an inventory financing facility (the “Inventory Facility”) in the form of a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Inventory Loan Agreement”) between the Company and Crossroads Financial Group, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (the “IF Lender”), dated as of August 11, 2020. The Inventory Facility matures on August 11, 2022, subject to early termination upon 90 days’ notice and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Inventory Loan Agreement. The term is automatically extended in successive one (1) year increments unless terminated by either party in accordance with the Inventory Loan Agreement.
Borrowings under the Inventory Facility are permitted up to the lower of (i) $3,000,000 and (ii) a borrowing base, determined from time to time based on the value of the Company’s eligible inventory, valued at 75% of inventory cost or 85% of the inventory net orderly liquidation value, less the availability reserves. As of the date of the Inventory Loan Agreement, the borrowing base was approximately $2.448 million, and therefore less than the $3,000,000 maximum amount. The outstanding indebtedness under the Inventory Facility currently accrues at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 5.75% and (ii) 4.00% plus the three (3) month LIBOR rate and is also subject to a service fee of 1.00% per month; provided that the combined amount is subject to a minimum monthly fee of $18,490. The Inventory Facility is secured by substantially all of the present and future assets of the Borrower and is also governed by an intercreditor agreement among the Borrower, IF Lender and RF Lender (defined below).
The Inventory Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, among others, breaches of representations, covenants or warranties thereunder; failure to perform any payment obligations; a sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial interest in any class of voting stock of Borrower, or the failure of any key employee to devote all of its efforts in furtherance of the business affairs of Borrower for any one month or such person ceases to be employed by Borrower in the same capacity as of the date of the Inventory Loan Agreement. The Inventory Loan Agreement is subject to certain affirmative covenants which include, among others, (i) maintenance of Borrower’s factoring relationship under the Receivables Facility (as defined below); (ii) delivery to the IF Lender of certain reports and financial statements on a periodic basis, (iii) payment of taxes when due and (iv) maintenance of insurance. The Inventory Loan Agreement is subject to certain negative covenants which include, among others, restrictions (with certain exceptions) on the ability of Borrower: (i) to grant any lien on the collateral, except in favor of IF Lender or pursuant to the Receivables Facility; (ii) to merge with or into another person, liquidate or dissolve, acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any person, or sell, assign or otherwise dispose of a substantial part of its business; (iii) to sell, convey, assign, lease, transfer, abandon or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, except in the ordinary course of business; (iv) incur or guarantee any

indebtedness, (v) to make any distribution or dividend or to repurchase its capital stock, (vi) to enter into material transactions with its affiliates, other than in the ordinary course of business, (vii) relating to the storage and sale of inventory, and (viii) to establish new deposit accounts.
The second arrangement was a receivables financing facility (the “Receivables Facility”) in the form of a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Receivables Loan Agreement”) between the Company and Factors Southwest L.L.C. (d/b/a FSW Funding), an Arizona limited liability company (the “RF Lender”), dated as of August 11, 2020. The Receivables Facility matures on August 11, 2022, subject to early termination in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Loan Agreement; provided that the term is automatically extended in successive one (1) year increments unless terminated by either party in accordance with the Receivables Loan Agreement.
Borrowings under the Receivables Facility are permitted up to the lower of (i) $2,500,000 and (ii) a borrowing base determined from time to time based on the value of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, valued at 90% of the face value of such accounts receivable, less availability reserves, if any. As of the date of the Receivables Loan Agreement, the borrowing base was approximately $1.637 million, which is less than the $2,500,000 maximum amount. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Receivables Facility currently accrues at an annual rate equal to (i) the highest prime rate announced from time to time by the Wall Street Journal plus (ii) 2.00%. The Receivables Facility is also secured by substantially all of the present and future assets of the Borrower and is also governed by an intercreditor agreement among the Borrower, IF Lender and RF Lender. A $25 thousand, or 1.00%, facility fee was charged at closing.
The Receivables Loan Facility also contains customary events of default, including, among others, failure to perform any payment obligations; the failure to comply with its other material obligations under the Receivables Loan Agreement; a change of control of Borrower or any other obligor occurs; or the failure of any key employee to devote substantially all of his or her efforts in furtherance of the business affairs of Borrower or any obligor under the Receivables Loan Agreement, or such person ceases to be employed by Borrower or any obligor under the Receivables Loan Agreement in the same capacity as of the date of the Receivables Loan Agreement and Borrower has failed to demonstrate to RF Lender a reasonable replacement within 60 days. The Receivables Loan Agreement is subject to certain affirmative covenants which include, among others, (i) delivery to the RF Lender of certain reports and financial statements on a periodic basis; (ii) maintenance of properties; (iii) payment of taxes when due; (iv) maintenance of insurance; (v) compliance with laws; and (vi) maintenance of corporate existence. The Receivables Loan Agreement is subject to certain negative covenants which include, among others, restrictions (with certain exceptions) on the ability of Borrower: (i) to grant any lien on the collateral, except in favor of the RF Lender or as contemplated by the intercreditor agreement with the Inventory Facility, (ii) incur or guarantee any indebtedness other than pursuant to the Facilities or as otherwise permitted, (iii) to merge with or into another person, liquidate or dissolve, or sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial part of its assets; (iv) to sell, convey, assign, lease, transfer, abandon or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, except in the ordinary course of business, (v) to change Borrower’s name or suffer a change in control, (vi) to make any distribution or dividend or to repurchase its capital stock, (vii) to enter into material transactions with its affiliates, other than in the ordinary course of business, (vii) to relocate its chief executive office, and (viii) fail to comply with certain covenants relating to the collateral.

Additionally, in connection with the entry into the Facilities described, on August 11, 2020, the Borrower terminated its existing credit agreement dated as of December 11, 2018, by and among Borrower and Austin Financial Services, Inc. The terminated credit facility permitted loans in an amount of up to $5,000,000. The terminated facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of Borrower. The other material terms of the terminated facility have been previously disclosed in Borrower’s periodic public filings. There was a $100,000 breakage fee associated with the terminated credit facility.
