Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On December 11, 2012, Gaiam, Inc. ("Gaiam"), and on December 13, 2012, Riverside Renewable Energy Investment LLC ("Riverside"), each advanced us $1.0 million in cash pursuant to the Loan Commitment we entered into with them on November 13, 2012. Each loan is represented by a promissory note and bears interest at an annual rate of 10% per year. Each loan becomes due and payable on April 26, 2013. The promissory note also includes certain customary language making the loans payable upon the occurrence of certain events such as insolvency or bankruptcy. Also, if we complete a sale of at least $50,000 of capital stock, then each creditor has the option of converting all or any portion of the principal and interest owing on the loan in question into securities in such sale at the same purchase price as paid by other purchasers in such sale. If we fail to make payment of the principal and all interest owing on a loan within 10 days of when due, then the creditor has the option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in our real property located in Hopland, California (including all land and buildings) in exchange for cancellation of such principal and interest. This option is conditioned upon (1) the approval of the transaction by our disinterested directors, and (2) the consent of our senior creditor, Silicon Valley Bank. The loans are unsecured and subordinated to our indebtedness owed to unaffiliated creditors. Subject to the rights of senior debt, we have the right to prepay the loans at any time without premium or penalty.

Gaiam owns approximately 38% of our Class A common stock and is one of our creditors. Riverside owns approximately 29% of our Class A common stock and is one of our creditors. Pursuant to the terms of a Shareholders Agreement, Gaiam and Riverside each has the right to designate a certain number of individuals for appointment or nomination to our board of directors, tied to their respective ownership of our Class A common stock.
