Knoxville, Tenn., April 30 - Open Energy Corp. arranged a $3.5 million loan agreement with Quercus Trust, according to an 8-K filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On April 30, Quercus funded $1.55 million to the company under the loan. From April 30 through June 30, the company may request additional advances in amounts of at least $200,000.

The loan is due on Oct. 30, and it may be prepaid in full at any time. The company is required to make partial prepayments on the loan under certain conditions.

Interest is payable in seven-year warrants, which are exercisable at $0.506 per share. The total number of warrants that may be issued, assuming the maximum amount of $3.5 million is lent, is 1,389,096, which the parties agreed is equal to an 18% coupon.
