NOTE 5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

 

In June 2008, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent (GECC), and Oxford Finance Corporation (Oxford) that provided the Company with a $15.0 million credit facility. The credit facility was available in up to three tranches. The first tranche of $3.8 million was advanced to the Company upon the closing of the loan agreement. The second tranche of $5.6 million was advanced to the Company in July 2008. The third tranche of $5.6 million was not drawn and is no longer available to the Company, and GECC and Oxford waived the 2% unused line fee related to the unused portion of the credit facility.

 

The Company paid interest only on the first tranche for the first six months at an interest rate of 11.59%. Beginning in January 2009, the Company began principal payments on the first tranche, plus interest at such rate, which will be paid in 30 equal monthly installments. The second tranche was interest-only through December 31, 2008, with principal and interest payable thereafter in 30 equal monthly installments at an interest rate of 11.59%. Interest expense, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs, was approximately $24,000 and $133,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

 

        The credit facility was fully repaid in July 2011.
