In order to retain title to the property, we were to begin construction of the de-conversion facility no later than December 31, 2014, and complete Phase I of the project and have hired at least 75 persons to operate the facility no later than December 31, 2015, although commercial operations need not have begun by that date. In 2015, the Company negotiated a modification to the PPA agreement that extended the start of construction date to December 31, 2015, and the hiring milestone to December 31, 2016. Those dates were not met and the Company is currently in the process of renegotiating a second modification to the agreement to further extend those dates. If the Company is not successful in extending the performance dates in the agreement then it may, at its sole option, either purchase or re-convey the property to Lea County, New Mexico. The purchase price of the property would be $776,078, plus interest at the annual rate of 5.25% from the date of the closing to the date of payment. The Company has not recorded the value of this property as an asset and will not do so until such time that sufficient progress on the project has been made to meet our obligations under the agreements for permanent transfer of the title.
