9. Long-term Debt

On August 4, 2015, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with MidCap Financial Trust, as agent, MidCap Financial Funding XIII Trust and Silicon Valley Bank, as lenders, (the “Lenders”), to borrow up to $30,000,000 in term loans, (“2015 term loan”). The Company concurrently borrowed $15,000,000 under an initial term loan. The remaining $15,000,000 under the facility may be drawn down in the form of a second term loan at the Company’s option through September 2016, subject to the Company’s receipt of positive Phase 3 Zilretta clinical trial data meeting the trial’s primary endpoint which is sufficient to file an NDA for Zilretta, as well as other customary conditions for funding. The Company granted the Lenders a security interest in substantially all of its personal property, rights and assets, other than intellectual property, to secure the payment of all amounts owed under the credit facility. The Company also agreed not to encumber any of its intellectual property without the Lenders’ prior written consent. The Company must maintain a balance in cash or cash equivalents at Silicon Valley Bank equal to the principal balance of the loan plus 5 percent for so long as the Company maintains any cash or cash equivalents in non-secured bank accounts. The credit and security agreement also contains certain representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company as well as a material adverse event clause. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was compliant with all covenants and there were no material adverse events.

Borrowings under the credit facility accrue interest monthly at a fixed interest rate of 6.25 % per annum. Following an interest-only period of 19 months, principal will be due in 36 equal monthly installments commencing March 1, 2017 and ending February 1, 2020 (the “maturity date”). Upon the maturity date, the Company will be obligated to pay a final payment equal to 9% of the total principal amounts borrowed under the facility. The final payment amount is being accreted to the carrying value of the debt using the effective interest rate method. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying value of the term loan was $15,072,000, of which $384,000 was due within 12 months and $14,688,000 was due in greater than 12 months.

In connection with the credit and security agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs totaling $150,000. These costs will be amortized over the estimated term of the debt using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. The Company elected the early adoption of ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest, and accordingly deducted the debt issuance costs from the carrying amount of the debt as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2016, annual principal and interest payments due under the Company’s 2015 term loan are as follows (in thousands):
