On June 14, 2016, the Company executed a Change in Terms Agreement, Notice of Final Agreement and Modification of the Construction Loan Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) in connection with the Construction Loan Agreement with East West Bank for up to $22.0 million dollars to finance the construction of the Company’s campus expansion plan in Sugar Land, Texas, originally dated January 26, 2015 (the “Construction Loan Agreement”). Upon signing the original Construction Loan Agreement, the Company deposited $11.0 million into a restricted bank account for owner’s contribution of construction costs. The Modification Agreement had a fifteen-month draw down period with monthly interest payments commencing on February 26, 2015 and ending on July 31, 2016. Thereafter, the entire outstanding principal balance was to be converted to a sixty-six month term loan with principal and interest payments due monthly amortized over three hundred months. The first principal and interest payment commenced on August 26, 2016, and continue the same day of each month thereafter. The final principal and interest payment would have been due on January 26, 2022 and would have included all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest. The Company was permitted to pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than due. Under the Construction Loan Agreement, the loan bore interest at an annual rate based on the one-month LIBOR Borrowing Rate plus 2.75%, and the interest rate was adjusted to LIBOR Borrowing Rate plus 2.0% under the Modification Agreement. 

 

On October 5, 2016, the Company executed a Change in Terms Agreement, Notice of Final Agreement and Second Modification to the Construction Loan Agreement (the “Second Modifications”) to the Construction Loan Agreement with East West Bank. The Second Modifications amended and restated in part the Company’s Promissory Note and Construction Loan Agreement, which was originally executed on January 26, 2015, and the Modification Agreement. The draw down period end date, under the Second Modifications, was amended from July 31, 2016 to September 30, 2016. And thereafter, the entire outstanding principal balance was to be converted to a sixty-four month term loan, amended from a sixty-six month term loan, with principal and interest payments due monthly amortized over three hundred months. The first principal and interest payment was due on October 26, 2016 and would have continued on the same day of each month thereafter. The final principal and interest payment was due on January 26, 2022 and would have included all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest.

The First Amendment also provided for an additional $10.0 million equipment term loan with a one year drawdown period commencing on April 1, 2016 and maturing five years from the closing date of the First Amendment.
