In connection with, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Modification Agreement, the LLC received an Accounts Receivable Line of Credit Note, dated as of August 17, 2017 (the “Note”), with an aggregate principal balance of $10 million from the Lender (the Credit Agreement as modified, the Note, and any and all other agreements, instruments and documents executed by the Company and/or the Lender related to the Credit Agreement or the Note, collectively, the “Loan Documents”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Note for general working capital purposes. All outstanding principal and interest under the Note is due on or before July 31, 2018.
