Risks and Contingencies:
- Liquidity Risk: Multiple debt instruments mature on July 31, 2019, creating a near-term refinancing or repayment obligation.
- Default Provisions: The Energy Capital loan contains customary events of default. Upon default, the lender can require immediate prepayment of principal and accrued interest.
- Collateral: All amounts outstanding under the Energy Capital loan are secured by a lien on the Company's assets.
