Item 2.03.         Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On October 4, 2012, we and our subsidiaries, CASTion Corporation and ThermoEnergy Power Systems, LLC, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with C13 Thermo LLC (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender established a credit facility allowing us to borrow up to $700,000 (the “Credit Facility”) to finance the fabrication and testing of an Ammonia Reduction Process system utilizing our proprietary technology (the “Project”). We may draw against the Credit Facility from time to time to pay expenses incurred under the budget for the Project. As evidence of our obligation to repay all amounts that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility, on October 4, 2012 we and our subsidiaries that are parties to the Loan Agreement issued to the Lender a promissory note in the principal amount of $700,000 (the “Note”).

 

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will not bear interest (except in the case of an event of default, in which case all amounts borrowed, together with all fees, expenses and other amounts due, shall bear interest at the default rate of 8% per annum). Upon maturity of the Note, we will be charged a commitment fee equal to 10% of the aggregate principal amount borrowed under the Credit Facility.

 

The Credit Facility expires, and all amounts due under the Note, together with all commitment fees incurred under the Loan Agreement, will become due and payable, on the earlier of (i) March 4, 2013 or (ii) the date on which we first draw against an irrevocable documentary letter of credit that has been issued for our benefit in connection with the Project. We may repay the Note in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.

 

In connection with the Loan Agreement, on October 4, 2012 we and our subsidiaries that are parties thereto, entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with the Lender pursuant to which we and such subsidiaries granted to the Lender a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of all of our obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement.

 

The Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement contain other, conventional terms, including representations and warranties regarding our business and assets and our authority to enter into such agreements, conditions to the Lender’s obligation to make advances under the Credit Facility, and provisions for acceleration of our obligations upon the occurrence of certain specified events of default.

 

The Loan Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively and the foregoing descriptions of such documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to such Exhibits.
