NOTE 8 – SECURED PROMISSORY NOTES

Steward Capital Holdings LP

On March 9, 2018, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Agreement”) with Steward Capital Holdings LP (the “Steward Capital”) wherein Steward Capital made available to us a loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 (the “Loan”). On March 9, 2018, the Company and Steward Capital, pursuant to the Agreement, entered into a Secured Term Promissory Note for $5,000,000, having a maturity date of September 9, 2019 (“Tranche A”). The Note bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 11.25% or (b) 11.25% plus the Prime Rate, less, 3.25%. The Agreement also includes payments of $25,000 in loan commitment fees and $100,000 (1%) of the funding in loan facility charges. The loan commitment fees and $50,000 in loan facility charges associated with Tranche A were recorded as debt discount and amortized over the life of the loan. There is also an end of term charge of $250,000. The end of term charge is being recorded as accreted costs over the term of the loan. The Note is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On October 9, 2018, the Company and Steward Capital, pursuant to the Agreement, entered into a second Secured Term Promissory Note for $5,000,000 having a maturity date of April 9, 2020 (the “Second Note”) to complete the Agreement for $10,000,000. The Second Note bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 11.25% or (b) 11.25% plus the Prime Rate, less, 3.25%. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company is required to pay a $50,000 loan facility charge.

On June 18, 2019, the Company and Steward Capital entered into a letter of agreement to amend the Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to (i) extend and amend the Maturity Date, as defined in Section 1.1 of the Agreement, to read in its entirety “means September 9, 2020”; (ii) waive the repayment requirement to Steward Capital under Section 2.3 of the Agreement, in connection with the then proposed public offering of the Company as described in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, originally filed on April 12, 2019, and (iii) waive the restriction by Steward Capital on the prepayment of Indebtedness under Section 7.4 of the Agreement. In connection with the waivers, extension and amendment, the Company agreed to pay to Steward Capital, upon the earlier of (a) the completion of the public offering as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Agreement and (b) ten (10) days following the Company’s receipt of Steward’s written demand therefor, a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the current outstanding principal balance of the Loan (as defined in the Agreement), neither of which have occurred at the time of this filing. The Company concluded that the modifications created by the First Amendment resulted in a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standard Codification—Debt (Topic 470) as it was determined that a concession was granted by Steward Capital. However, as the future payments to be made subsequent to the modification are greater than the carrying value at the time of the modification, no gain or loss was required to be recognized on the troubled debt restructuring. As the difference between the effective interest rate method and the straight-line method is deemed immaterial, the Company will continue to amortize the deferred loan costs using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the Loan.

On October 28, 2019, Company and Steward Capital entered into a letter of agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Agreement, as amended wherein the parties agreed to (i) extend and amend the due date for all accrued and unpaid interest starting September 2, 2019 to the Maturity Date (September 9, 2020) and (ii) extend and amend the due date for the 3% fee payable to Steward Capital in connection with the amendment and waiver dated June 2019 to be payable on the Maturity Date. Also in connection with the extensions and amendments the Company issued Steward Capital 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $300,000 on December 15, 2019. The value was recorded as debt discount and amortized over the life of the loan. The Company concluded that the modifications created by the Second Amendment resulted in a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standard Codification—Debt (Topic 470) as it was determined that a concession was granted by Steward Capital. However, as the future payments to be made subsequent to the modification are greater than the carrying value at the time of the modification, no gain or loss was required to be recognized on the troubled debt restructuring. As the difference between the effective interest rate method and the straight-line method is deemed immaterial, the Company will continue to amortize the deferred loan costs using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the Loan.\

The Agreement also contains covenants which included certain restrictions with respect to subsequent indebtedness, liens, loans and investments, asset sales and share repurchases and other restricted payments, subject to certain exceptions. The Agreement also contained financial reporting obligations. An event of default under the Agreement includes, but is not limited to, breach of covenants, insolvency, and occurrence of any default under any agreement or obligation of the Company. In addition, the Agreement contained a customary material adverse effect clause which states that in the event of a material adverse effect, an event of default would occur, and the lender has the option to accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the loan. A material adverse effect is defined in the Agreement as a material change in our business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition or a material impairment of its ability to perform all obligations under its Agreement.

As of December 31, 2019, the principal balance was $10,000,000, net of debt discount of $252,933 and accreted cost of $359,828 and accrued interest was $437,569.

Energy Capital, LLC

On October 1, 2018, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with Energy Capital, LLC (“Energy Capital”) wherein Energy Capital made available to us an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 (the “Loan”). Between January 29 and August 13, 2019, the Company and Energy Capital entered into a series of secured term promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) for an aggregate of $10,000,000. The advance proceeds were utilized primarily for operating capital and inventory. The principal amount outstanding under the Promissory Notes bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 11.25% or (b) 11.25% plus the Prime Rate (as published by the Wall Street Journal (National Edition)), less 3.25%. The Promissory Notes contain customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants for transactions of this nature. Upon an event of default, Energy Capital has the right to require the Company to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest. All amounts outstanding under the Promissory Notes are secured by a lien on the Company’s assets, subject to terms of outstanding debt obligations, and become due and payable on the earlier to occur of September 30, 2019 or the completion by the Company of a capital raise with minimum proceeds to the Company of $20 million. On April 2, 2019, the Company and Energy Capital entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to (i) amend the notice provisions of an Advance Request under the Loan Agreement from at least five (5) business days to at least one (1) business day before the Advance Date, (ii) increase the amount of the Advance from up to $1,000,000 a month to up to $1,500,000 a month, and (iii) change the definition of the term Maturity Date from the earlier of September 30, 2019 or 10 business days following the date of an Underwritten Public Offering to September 30, 2020. The Promissory Notes, with an aggregate of $10,563,104 principal and interest outstanding, were converted into 4,225,242 Units (see NOTE 9 for additional details), and the debt owed under the Promissory Notes was extinguished. As a result, the Promissory Notes terminated pursuant to their terms.
