In connection with the Loan Agreement, on May 26, 2016, the Company and Lender entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted to Lender a senior security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets as security for repayment of the Loan.

The maturity date of the Loan is May 26, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”).
