The Credit Agreement, together with the Amendment, now provides for a senior secured term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $85.0 million (collectively, the Credit Facility), comprised of (i) an initial term loan made on the Agreement Date with an outstanding principal amount of $45.0 million, (ii) the Second Tranche made on the Amendment Date with an outstanding principal amount of $27.5 million, as evidenced by the Companys issuance of a promissory note (the Note) in favor of the Lender on the Amendment Date, and (iii) the Third Tranche with an available principal amount of up to $12.5 million. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022, subject to acceleration to the Credit Agreement, including upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

As previously disclosed at the time of entry into the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 7.5% (the Applicable Margin) plus the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR and (ii) 3.5%; provided, however, that upon, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default, the Applicable Margin shall automatically increase by an additional 400 basis points. On the last day of each month during the term of the Credit Facility, the Company will pay accrued interest to the Lender.
