Note 7 – Debt Apollo Vehicle Financing Facility In April 2021, the Company’s wholly owned consolidated special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Apollo Credit Agreement”) with Apollo Investment Corporation, as a lender, and MidCap Financial Trust, as a lender and administrative agent, to allow the SPV to borrow up to $40.0million (the “Vehicle Financing Facility”) with no right to re-borrow any portion of the Vehicle Financing Facility that is repaid or prepaid. The Vehicle Financing Facility includes a repayment mechanism tied directly to revenue generation of vehicles on lease by the SPV to the Company under an intercompany leasing arrangement (the “Scooter Lease”). Vehicles and cash in the SPV may be transferred out of the SPV in compliance with the terms, conditions, and covenants of the Apollo Credit Agreement. The Company drew down $8.4 million and $19.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The outstanding principal balance under the Vehicle Financing Facility as of September 30, 2021 was $11.3 million. The Vehicle Financing Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in vehicles, collections from revenue generated by vehicles, and a reserve account related to such vehicles contributed by the Company to the SPV (collectively, “Collateral”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company maintained $16.2 million in such reserve account, which is classified as restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. O utstanding Vehicle Financing Facility balances bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin basis. The maturity date of the Vehicle Financing Facility is April 27, 2024 (“Final Maturity Date”). On the fourth business day of each month prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Company is required to repay principal outstanding under the Vehicle Financing Facility based on a pre-set monthly amortization schedule (such amount, the “Amortization Amount”). In addition, on the fourth business day of each of January, April, July, and October, the Company is required to repay an additional amount of principal outstanding under the Vehicle Financing Facility to the extent 50% of revenues generated from the underlying Collateral is greater than the sum of the Amortization Amount due for the preceding quarter (such payment, the “Amortization Catch-Up Amount”). All outstanding Vehicle Financing Facility balances will be due and payable as previously stated, unless the commitments are terminated earlier, or if an event of default occurs (or automatically in the case of certain bankruptcy-related events of default). The Apollo Credit Agreement includes certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative financial and non-financial covenants, events of default, and indemnification provisions. The primary negative covenant is a limitation on liens against vehicles included in the underlying Collateral, whichThe Company is currently in compliance with all the terms and covenants of the Apollo Credit Agreement and the Scooter Lease. In accordance with the terms outlined in the agreements, the Company made contractual principal payments totaling $7.1 million and $7.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company expects to repay the entire principal balance outstanding under the Vehicle Financing Facility as of September 30, 2021 pursuant to the Amortization Amount and the Amortization Catch-Up Amount prior to September 30, 2022 based on forecasts of expected revenue to be generated from underlying Collateral. As such, all outstanding Vehicle Financing Facility balances are presented in current notes payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Issuance costs related to the Apollo Credit Agreement of $1.6 million were capitalized as a deferred asset and are amortized over the term of the Apollo Credit Agreement.
As disclosed in Note 13, on October 12, 2021, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Apollo Credit Agreement which, among other things, amended the amount of the commitments, the commitment period, the maturity date, the interest rate, and certain financial covenants.

In addition, pursuant to a July 9, 2019 amendment that added Sequoia IDF Asset Holdings S.A. as an incremental term loan lender, the Company could draw up to $5.0 million of incremental term loans (“Incremental Term Loans” and, collectively with the Initial Term Loans, the “Term Loans”). The Company drew down $45.0 million of Initial Term Loans and $5.0 million of Incremental Term Loans on June 13, 2019 and July 15, 2019, respectively, for a total of $50.0 million in Term Loans.
