Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, which, by their nature, are inherently unpredictable. The Company is not currently a party to any material claims or legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Regardless of outcome, litigation and other legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Other Commitments
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into a commitment for non-refundable multi-launch and integration services. The Company also entered into a commercial agreement with financing terms for multiple launches providing for $3.0 million to be paid upfront, and for $27.0 million, of which a portion will be drawn down equally per launch and will be repaid quarterly on a pro-rata basis across a three-year period after each successful launch milestone. Payments will accrue interest at 12.6% per annum. The Company may prepay at any time until the maturity date without premium or penalty. As of December 31, 2023, the minimum commitment associated with the agreement was $8.4 million. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all outstanding and payable obligations during the existence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement at 18.9% per annum above the applicable interest rate.
We have operational commitments for the next several years that contain termination for convenience options, subject to applicable termination fees. For example, we have work orders to manufacture our Gen-3 satellites at LeoStella, our satellite manufacturing joint venture. Our work orders with LeoStella and other manufacturing partners all contain termination for convenience options that allow us to manage the satellite production process from design through manufacturing. In addition to the above, the Company entered into various operational commitments for the next several years totaling $6.6 million as of December 31, 2023.
