The terms of the Piedmont project-level debt financing include a $51.0 million bridge loan, a portion of which we expect to repay with the proceeds from the stimulus grant expected to be received from the U.S. Treasury, and an $82.0 million construction loan that we expect to convert to a term loan. While we fully expect the construction loan to convert to a term loan in second quarter 2013 based on the project meeting specified milestone requirements, if it does not, we have the option of amending or refinancing the construction loan or infusing additional equity into the project. On April 19, 2013, Piedmont achieved commercial operations and expects to submit an application under the 1603 federal grant program within 60 days from this date to recover approximately 30% of its capital cost, subject to the potential impact of the federal sequester on spending which we estimate to be an approximate $2.0 million shortfall. The $51.0 million bridge loan is expected to be repaid by end of third quarter of 2013 and repayment of the expected $82.0 million term loan would commence in 2013.

Meadow Creek debt consists of $172.8 million drawn on a construction loan which converted to a term loan in March 2013 and a $56.5 million cash grant loan. The cash grant loan was repaid in April 2013 with $49.0 million of proceeds from the 1603 grant with the U.S. Treasury, $4.7 million from the former owners to cover the shortfall resulting from the federal sequester on spending and a $2.8 million contribution from us to cover the shortfall from lower grant-eligible costs, primarily as a result of lower project cost versus budget.
