Secured Term Note
On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with AmeriState Bank (“Lender”), as lender, pursuant to the United States Department of Agriculture, Business & Industry Loan Program, to provide for an advancing loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million (the “AmeriState Loan”), of which $8.0 million was drawn and outstanding as of March 31, 2022. The AmeriState Loan, which is in the form of a term loan facility, matures on April 8, 2031 and bears interest at 5.75% per annum through April 8, 2026, and the U.S. prime lending rate plus 2.5% per annum thereafter.

Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the Lender may (i) terminate its commitment, (ii) declare the outstanding principal amount of the Advancing Notes (as defined in the Loan Agreement) due and payable, or (iii) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Agreement.
