Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Credit Agreement
 
On November 29, 2016, PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as the Borrower thereunder, together with certain of the Company’s US subsidiaries, as “Loan Guarantors” (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the “Lender”. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million to be made available to the Company; availability at any time being equal to the lesser of (i) $15.0 million and (ii) a borrowing base (equal to the sum of 80% eligible accounts, 50% eligible raw materials inventory and 35% eligible finished goods inventory, with no more than 50% of total eligible inventory included in the borrowing base), less the aggregate principal amount outstanding (the “Credit Facility”). Interest accrues on outstanding principal balances at an applicable rate per annum determined, as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, by reference to the CBFR Spread or the Eurodollar Spread based on the Company’s consolidated indebtedness ratio as at the determination date. The Credit Facility replaces the Company’s asset-based credit agreement dated September 9, 2014 with JPMorgan Chase, N.A. (the “2014 ABL Credit Agreement”) and a portion of the proceeds of the Credit Facility were used to pay-off all indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s 2014 ABL Credit Agreement.
 
The Credit Facility matures three (3) years from the date of the Credit Agreement and is guaranteed by the Loan Guarantors. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and of the other Loan Parties; provided, that the Credit Facility is not secured by any liens on more than 65% of the voting stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are usual and customary, including representations, warranties and covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, incur or permit to exist liens on assets, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, consolidate or merge with or into any other company, engage in asset sales and pay dividends and make distributions. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company’s consolidated indebtedness ratio at the end of each of its fiscal quarters to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0 and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.0 for the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016 (to be tested only in the event the Company’s total consolidated indebtedness equals or exceeds $5,000,000 at the end of such fiscal quarter) and 1.25 to 1.0 for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 and each quarter thereafter. Obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon certain customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate), including among others: nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of the affirmative or negative covenants; breach of the representations or warranties in any material respect; event of default under, or acceleration of, other material indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency; material judgments entered against the Company or any of its subsidiaries; invalidity or unenforceability of any collateral documentation associated with the Credit Facility; and a change of control of the Company.
 
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and resulting Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2016 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
