On October 25, 2016, we signed Amendment No. 1 to the Business Purchase Agreement with Green Machines International GmbH and Green Machine Sweepers UK Limited, buyers of our Green Machines outdoor city cleaning line. See Note 4 for details of the Green Machines divestiture. The Amended BPA finalized the working capital adjustment and amended the payment terms for the remaining purchase price as described in Note 4 to these financial statements. Also on October 25, 2016, we signed Amendment No. 1 to the distributor agreement with Green Machine Sweepers UK Limited, whereby we waived our exclusive rights to distribute Green Machine products and parts in specified APAC and Latin America countries, and our obligation to purchase $24,000 of Green Machines products, parts and consumables over 24 months from January 2016 was canceled. On October 25, 2016, in connection with the amended distributor agreement, we provided a $2,000 non-interest bearing cash advance to TCS EMEA GmbH, the master distributor of our products in Central Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, who is an affiliate of Green Machine Sweepers UK Limited. The cash advance is repayable in 36 equal installments beginning in January 2017.
