Seller Note
Effective
July 1, 2018,
the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CAD.  Upon the closing of the transaction, the CAD shares were transferred and assigned to the Company in consideration of the payment by the Company of an aggregate purchase price of
$21
million,
$12
million of which was payable in cash at closing, with the remainder paid in the form of a subordinated promissory note issued by the Company in favor of a Seller (the “Seller Note), which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on working capital, indebtedness and selling expenses, as specified in the Share Purchase Agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition (the “Share Purchase Agreement”).   The Seller Note bears interest at a rate of
four
percent (
4%
) per annum and is payable in full
no
later than
June 30, 2023 (
the “Maturity Date”).  The Maturity Date, with respect to any then-outstanding portion of the original principal amount which is subject to an indemnification claim by the Company (asserted in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement) pending as of the date thereof, will be automatically extended until such time as any claim relating to such disputed amount is
no
longer pending, pursuant to the terms of the Seller Note and subject to additional conditions set forth therein and in the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company is
not
permitted to prepay any amounts due and owing under the Seller Note.  Payment of the Seller Note is secured by a
second
-priority security interest in the assets of the Company.   Interest accrued on the original principal amount becomes due and payable in arrears beginning
September 30, 2018,
and subsequent interest is due on the
first
day of each calendar quarter thereafter up to and including
June 30, 2019. 
The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments, the amount of which will be calculated based on a
four
(
4
) year amortization schedule, beginning on
September 30, 2019
and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date.
