[1] On November 17, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement and associated documents (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alter Domus (US), LLC (“Alter Domus”), as administrative agent and collateral agent and various lenders (the “Lenders”) in order to enable the Company to finance the acquisition of Front Line Power Construction, LLC. The Lenders made a Term Loan to Front Line in the initial principal amount of $105,000,000 for the purposes of financing the acquisition and the associated expenses. The term loan initially bears interest at the three-month Adjusted LIBOR Rate, plus the Applicable Margin, of which 2.5% may be paid in-kind. The Term Loan shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments of $262,500, and commenced on June 30, 2022. The Credit Agreement provides for mandatory prepayments on the occurrence of events such as sales of assets, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow and Excess Receipts during the term. The credit agreement provides for prepayment premiums (initially 5% on prepayments made in the first 30 months of the term, declining to 1% in the final year of the term). The Term Loan matures on November 17, 2026, subject to acceleration on Events of Default. Interest rate at September 30, 2022 on the term notes is 15.45% at September 30, 2022 with a current effective rate of 18.0%. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at September 30, 2022.
[2] On November 17, 2021, the Company entered into two unsecured promissory notes, one with Kurt A Johnson, Jr, for $34,256,000 and the second for $51,384,000 with Tidal Power Group LLC. These promissory notes bear an interest rate of 6% per annum and as modified on April 29, 2022, $20 million was paid on May 6, 2022, $15 million is due on December 31, 2022, and the remaining balance is due on May 31, 2023. On December 10, 2021, Kurt A Johnson Jr. received an additional unsecured promissory note in the principal sum of $1,090,000 also with a 6% per annum interest rate in exchange for a reduction of shares issued to Mr. Johnson of 400,000. This note was paid off as part of the May 6, 2022 payment. Additionally in a Q1 2022 amendment to the note, the Company also agreed to reduce the restriction period under the Tidal Lockup letter from two years to one year and to the extent that if the value of the shares previously issued to Tidal Power were less than $4.00 per share upon expiration of the restriction period, the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration to Tidal Power so that the value of Tidal Power's shares are equal to no less than $28,852,844. For the Johnson lockup letter, the Company agreed to pay additional consideration to Mr. Johnson upon expiration of the restriction period so that the value of his stock consideration is no less than $17,635,228, which is equal to $4.00 per common share. Any shortfall would be made up by issuing Mr. Johnson additional common shares.
[3] The Company has a note payable to First Insurance Funding executed in 2022 for the purposes of financing a portion of the Company's insurance coverage.

In August 2021, the $5 million note was amended from its original 18-month term; the Company paid $1 million in cash and exchanged 155,763 shares of common stock in exchange for an additional $1 million reduction in principal. The new loan had a face value of $2.0 million at a rate of 6% per annum and was recorded based on an estimated market interest rate of 10% per annum with an original issue discount of $48 thousand. The second seller financed note payable is due 36-months from the April 1, 2020 acquisition date. Both notes had an original stated interest rate of 6% per annum. In 2022, the Company filed and served a Federal Civil Complaint asserting various causes-of-action against the holder of the note, including misrepresentations made during the course of negotiating this transaction. Based on that complaint, the evidence contained therein, and the conduct described, the Company reasonably believes that it owes no additional compensation as a result of this transaction.

In April, 2022, the Company took out three non-recourse agreements with C6 Capital for the sale of future revenues in the combined amount of $20.2 million. The Company received approximately $13.3 million after the deduction of an original issue discount and upfront fees. In April 2022, the Company used part of the proceeds from these non-recourse agreements to pay off the non-recourse C6 note of $4.2 million that was on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $0.4 million. The loans vary in length from 26 to 48 weeks. The Company paid off the smallest of the three notes in June 2022 and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $0.1 million.

The Company failed to meet the debt reduction requirement in June and July 2022 and recorded liquidated damages in other expense in the amount of $2.3 million, which was added to the principal amount of the note. The original agreement also called for a similar debt reduction requirement in August 2022, but this term was later removed by a subsequent agreement.
