Under the arrangement, Oaktree will provide Molycorp and certain of the Company's subsidiaries with up to $400 million in secured financing through credit facilities and the sale and leaseback of certain equipment at the Company's Mountain Pass facility (the "Financings"). $250 million of the Financings has now been funded, with the remaining $150 million available until April 30, 2016 if Molycorp achieves consolidated adjusted EBITDA of not less than $20.0 million per quarter for two consecutive fiscal quarters, and production volume at its Mountain Pass facility of at least 4,000 metric tons per quarter for two consecutive fiscal quarters.
