Item 1.01.Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective as of October 23, 2017, Telkonet, Inc. (the “Company” and “Borrower”) entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Heritage Bank of Commerce, a California state chartered bank (the “Bank”). The Company and the Bank are parties to a certain Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of September 30, 2014 referenced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2014.

 

The Amendment extends the revolving maturity date to September 30, 2019 and redefines compliance if the Company deviates from its projected EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 or quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Borrower shall be deemed compliant if, as of such measurement date, Borrower’s unrestricted cash maintained in its accounts at Bank is in excess of $5,000,000. If Bank and Borrower fail to establish a mutually acceptable EBITDA level for the upcoming calendar year on or before December 31 of each year, the revolving maturity date shall be February 15 of such immediately upcoming year. All other terms of the Loan Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is in all respects subject to the actual provisions of the Amendment, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference herein.
