The LC facility is to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account. The loan was initially advanced as a construction loan during the development of the PPA V Project and converted into a term loan on February 28, 2017 (the “Term Conversion Date”). As part of the term loan’s conversion, the LC facility commitments were adjusted down to total of $6.2 million.

Recourse Debt Facilities
Term Loan due November 2020 - On May 22, 2013, the Company entered into a $12.0 million financing agreement with a financial institution. The loan has a term of 90 months, payable monthly at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2017 was 5.1%. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the debt outstanding was $3.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
8% and 5% Convertible Promissory Notes - In December 2014, the Company entered into a three year $132.2 million convertible promissory note agreements with certain investors, including $10.0 million each from three related parties. The related parties consisted of Independent Board Members of the Company from Alberta Investment Management Corporation, KPCB Holdings, Inc. and New Enterprise Associates. The notes were amended to mature in December 2018.
As part of the agreements with certain investors, the Company entered into two more promissory note agreements in January and February 2015 for an additional $34.0 million. In June 2015, the Company entered into an additional promissory note agreement for $27.0 million requiring principal and interest accrued as due upon maturity and were amended to mature in December 2018. The notes had a fixed interest rate of 8.0% compounded monthly, were due at maturity or at the election of the investor with accrued interest due in December of each year which, at the election of the investor, could be paid or accrued.
On January 18, 2018, amendments were finalized to extend the maturity dates for all the 8% Notes to December 2019. At the same time, a portion of the notes held by Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. (the Constellation Note) was extended to December 2020 and the interest rate decreased from 8% to 5%.
Investors held the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest of both the 8% and 5% notes to Series G convertible preferred stock at any time at the price of $38.64. In July 2018, the $221.6 million of principal and accrued interest of outstanding 8% Notes automatically converted into equity, the conversion of which included all the related-party noteholders. Upon the Company's IPO, the 8% Notes converted to shares of Series G convertible preferred stock and, concurrently, each such share of Series G convertible preferred stock converted automatically into one share of Class B common stock. 5,734,440 shares of Class B common stock were issued from conversions and the 8% Notes were retired. The 5% Constellation Note have not elected to convert as of September 30, 2018.
The Company had the intent and ability to extend the maturity from December 2018 to December 2020 for the 5% Constellation Note and from December 2018 to December 2019 for the 8% Notes, consequently the outstanding balances of $34.3 million and $244.7 million of the debt was classified as non-current as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
6% Convertible Promissory Notes (Originally 5% Convertible Promissory Notes) - In December 2015, January 2016 and September 2016, the Company entered into five promissory note agreements with J.P. Morgan, Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), Mehetia Inc., New Enterprise Associates, and KPCB Holdings, Inc. The total value of the promissory notes is $260.0 million and originally bore a 5% fixed interest rate, compounded monthly, and are entirely due at maturity. Due to a reduction of collateral as a result of the issuance of the 10% Notes in June 2017 (see the discussion below headed 10% Notes), a 1% interest increase was negotiated between the Company and investors changing the interest rate from 5% to 6% effective July 1, 2017.
In connection with the issuance of the 6% Notes, the Company agreed to issue to J.P. Morgan and CPPIB, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock up to a maximum of 146,666 shares and 166,222 shares, respectively. On August 31, 2017, J.P. Morgan transferred its rights to CPPIB and the Company issued 312,888 common stock warrants to CPPIB. Upon completion of the IPO, the warrants were net exercised for 312,575 Class B Common stock.
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amount outstanding on the 6% Notes, which includes accrued interest through the IPO date, was $296.2 million and $286.1 million, respectively. At the election of the investors, the accrued interest and the unpaid principal can be converted into common stock at any time through the maturity date, with no provision for mandatory conversion upon IPO. In certain circumstances, the notes are also redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, in connection with a change of control or at a qualified initial public offering at a redemption price. In January 2018, the Company amended the terms of the 6% Notes to extend the convertible put option dates to December 2019. After the IPO date, the Company paid the interest when due and no additional interest accrues on the consolidated balance sheet on the 6% Notes.
10% Notes - In June 2017, the Company issued $100.0 million of senior secured notes. The 10% Notes mature in July 2024 and bear a 10.0% fixed rate of interest, payable semi-annually. The notes have a continuing security interest in the cash flows payable to the Company as servicing, operations and maintenance fees, as well as administrative fees, from the five active power purchase agreements in the Company’s Bloom Electrons program. Under the terms of the indenture governing the 10% Notes, the Company is required to comply with various restrictive covenants including meeting reporting requirements such as the preparation and delivery of audited consolidated financial statements, as well as maintaining certain restrictions on investments and incurring new debt.
