The Temporary Overadvance amount will be available to Registrant during the period from October 1, 2015 to and including April 30, 2016.

 

Under the Terms of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowing Base includes the sum of (a) 85% of outstanding Eligible Receivables and (b) 60% of Eligible Inventory (up to a maximum advance amount on inventory of $6,500,000), less any reserves which the Bank may require.
