In consideration of the January 2018 Note, $10 thousand of the total proceeds were paid to Third Eye Capital as financing charges. As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding balance of principal and interest on the January 2018 note was $162 thousand. On April 1, 2018, the January 2018 Note was paid in full. On February 27 2018, a Promissory Note (the February 2018 Note, together with the Original Third Eye Capital Notes, the Third Eye Capital Notes) for $2.1 million was advanced by Third Eye Capital to Aemetis, Inc., as a short-term credit facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes with an interest rate of 14% per annum maturing on the earlier of (a) receipt of proceeds from any financing, refinancing, or other similar transaction, (b) extension of credit by payee, as lender or as agent on behalf of certain lenders, to the Company or its affiliates, or (c) April 30, 2018. In consideration of the February 2018 Note, $0.1 million of the total proceeds were paid to Third Eye Capital as financing charges. Subsequently, the maturity date of the note was extended to June 30, 2018 with $84 thousand in fees due and payable at the time of the redemption of the Note. As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding balance of principal and interest on the February 2018 note was $2.1 million. On March 27, 2018, Third Eye Capital agreed to Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 14 to the Note Purchase Agreement, or Amendment No. 14, to: (i) extend the maturity date of the Third Eye Capital Notes two years to April 1, 2020 in exchange for an amendment fee consisting of 6% (3% per year) of the outstanding note balance in the form of an increase in the fee payable in the event of a redemption of the Third Eye Capital Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement); (ii) provide that the maturity date may be further extended at our election to April 1, 2021 in exchange for an extension fee of 5%; (iii) provide for an optional quarterly waiver of the ratio of note indebtedness covenant until January 1, 2019 with the payment of a waiver fee of $0.25 million; and (iv) remove the redemption fee described in (i) above from the calculation of the ratio of note indebtedness covenant. In addition to the fee discussed in (i), as consideration for such amendment and waiver, the borrowers also agreed to pay Third Eye Capital an amendment and waiver fee of $0.5 million to be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility. We have evaluated Amendment No. 14 in accordance with ASC 470-60 Troubled Debt Restructuring. Troubled Debt Restructuring On June 30, 2018, the Company requested and received an optional waiver of the ratio of note indebtedness covenant with the payment of a waiver fee of $0.25 million, which was added to the Revolving Credit Facility for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The Company may request additional optional waivers of the ratio of note indebtedness covenant for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, but there are no waivers available for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019. According to ASC 470-10-45 debt covenant classification guidance, if it is probable that the Company will not be able to cure the default at measurement dates within the next 12 months, the related debt needs to be classified as current. To assess this guidance, the Company performed ratio and cash flow analysis using the forecast and debt levels. Based on this analysis, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that through a combination of cash flow from operations, new projects that provide additional liquidity, and sales of EB-5 investments, it will be able to meet the ratio of the note indebtedness covenant, hence the notes are classified as long term debt. On March 27, 2018, Third Eye Capital agreed to a one-year reserve liquidity facility governed by a promissory note, payable in the principal amount of up to $6.0 million dollars. Borrowings under the facility are available from March 27, 2018 until maturity on April 1, 2019. Interest on borrowed amounts accrues at a rate of 30% per annum, paid monthly in arrears, or 40% if an event of default has occurred and continues. The outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by the promissory note, plus any accrued but unpaid interest and any other sums due thereunder, shall be due and payable in full at the earlier to occur of (a) the closing of any new debt or equity financing, refinancing or other similar transaction between Third Eye Capital or any fund or entity arranged by them and the Company or its affiliates, (b) receipt by the Company or its affiliates of proceeds from any sale, merger, equity or debt financing, refinancing or other similar transaction from any third party and (c) April 1, 2019. The promissory note is secured by liens and security interests upon the property and assets of the Company. If any amounts are drawn under the facility, the Company will pay a non-refundable fee in the amount of $0.2 million payable from the proceeds of the first drawing under the facility. As of June 30, 2018, no draws were outstanding on this Note. Terms of Third Eye Capital Notes A. Term Notes B. Revolving Credit Facility C. Revenue Participation Term Notes D.
