Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On March 9, 2020 Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Christian Meissner pursuant to which Mr. Meissner agreed to make a $250,000 credit line available to us from time to time until September 30, 2020.  Our ability to draw amounts under the credit line is at the discretion of Mr. Meissner.  Under the terms of the Agreement, amounts we borrow from Mr. Meissner will be evidenced by a 5% Senior Secured Revolving Note (the “Note”).  The Note will pay interest at the rate of 5% per annum, matures on September 30, 2020 and our obligations thereunder are secured by a first position security interest in our assets as evidenced by a Security Agreement of even date by and between the Company and Mr. Meissner.  Our secured creditor, Mr. Joseph V. Vittoria, our Executive Chairman, entered a Subordination Agreement subordinating his first position security interest in our assets which secures a Senior Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $9,129,430.15 due Mr. Vittoria to Mr. Meissner.


On March 9, 2020 we drew an initial $100,000.00 under this credit line and on March 12, 2020 used $33,617.99 of the proceeds to satisfy our obligations under the Business Loan Agreement with Kabbage dated October 24, 2019.  We are using the balance of the proceeds for working capital.


The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and the Subordination Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this report.

any exchange, release or nonperfection of any lien in any collateral;

(d)
