Effective October 29, 2014, Quadrant 4 System Corporation (the Company), entered into an asset based revolving line of credit facility (ABL) with MidCap Financial LLC based in Bethesda, MD (MidCap).  This ABL revolving line of credit facility replaces the factoring arrangement with Porter Capital Corporation based in Birmingham, AL. The factoring agreement with Porter had maturity date of January 2016.   This represents a direct financial obligation of the Company.  The total amount of the primary revolving credit facility with MidCap is a maximum of $10,000,000 and the term is three years.  The proposed rate for this credit facility is LIBOR plus 4%.

Effective October 29, 2014, the Company has entered into a financing arrangement with MidCap replacing the secured subordinated debt facility with Sandton Credit Opportunities Fund I, L.P. based in New York, NY (Sandton). Sandton debt facility had a maturity date of February 2015.  This represents a direct financial obligation of the Company.  The total amount of the new secured subordinated debt facility with MidCap is a maximum of $3,000,000.  The proposed rate for this credit facility is LIBOR plus 8% with a three year term that matures in October 2017
