Borrowings
 
CRG
 
On
September 
22,
2015,
the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”) with CRG under which, subject to certain conditions, the Company had the right to borrow up to
$50,000,000
in principal amount from CRG on or before
March 
29,
2017.
The Company borrowed
$30,000,000
on
September 
22,
2015.
The Company borrowed an additional
$10,000,000
on
June 
15,
2016
under the Loan Agreement.
 
On
October 
28,
2016,
the Company and CRG amended the Loan Agreement to reduce the minimum revenue that the Company was required to achieve in
2016
to
$18,000,000.
On
February 
14,
2018,
the Company and CRG further amended the Loan Agreement concurrent with the conversion of
$38,000,000
of the principal amount of the senior secured term loan (plus
$3,800,000
in back-end fees and prepayment premium applicable thereto) into a newly authorized Series A convertible preferred stock (see Note
7,
below). For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018,
the
$3,800,000
was accounted for in the condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss as interest expense.
 
Under the Loan Agreement, as amended,
no
cash payments for either principal or interest are due until the
first
quarter of
2020.
Beginning in the
first
quarter of
2020
accrued interest will be partially paid and partially accrued and included in the debt balance based (to the extent
not
paid) on principal amounts outstanding at the beginning of the quarter at an interest rate of
12.5%.
Beginning in the
third
quarter of
2021,
the Company will be required to make quarterly principal payments (in addition to the interest) of
$1.2
million with total principal payments of
$2.4
million in
2021,
$4.8
million in
2022
and
$2.4
million in
2023.
 
The Company
may
voluntarily prepay the borrowings in full, with a prepayment premium beginning at
5.0%
and declining by
1.0%
annually thereafter, with
no
premium being payable if prepayment occurs after the
fifth
year of the loan. Each tranche of borrowing required the payment, on the borrowing date, of a financing fee equal to
1.5%
of the borrowed loan principal, which is recorded as a discount to the debt. In addition, a facility fee equal to
7.0%
of the amounts borrowed plus any payment-in-kind (“PIK”) was to be payable at the end of the term or when the borrowings are repaid in full. A long-term liability is being accreted using the effective interest method for the facility fee over the term of the Loan Agreement with a corresponding discount to the debt. The borrowings are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
The Loan Agreement requires that the Company adheres to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements, certain minimum financial covenants for pre-specified liquidity and revenue requirements and a prohibition against the incurrence of indebtedness, or creation of additional liens, other than as specifically permitted by the terms of the Loan Agreement. In particular, the covenants of the original Loan Agreement included a covenant that the Company maintain a minimum of
$5,000,000
of cash and certain cash equivalents, and the Company had to achieve minimum revenue of
$7,000,000
in
2015,
$23,000,000
in
2016,
$40,000,000
in
2017,
$50,000,000
in
2018,
$60,000,000
in
2019
and
$70,000,000
in
2020
and in each year thereafter, as applicable. On
October 
28,
2016,
the Company amended the terms of the Loan Agreement, to reduce the minimum revenue that the Company must achieve in
2016
to
$18,000,000.
If the Company fails to meet the applicable minimum revenue target in any calendar year, the Loan Agreement provides the Company with a cure right if it prepays a portion of the outstanding principal equal to
2.0
times the revenue shortfall. In addition, the Loan Agreement prohibits the payment of cash dividends on the Company’s capital stock and also places restrictions on mergers, sales of assets, investments, incurrence of liens, incurrence of indebtedness and transactions with affiliates. CRG
may
accelerate the payment terms of the Loan Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events of default set forth therein, which include the failure of the Company to make timely payments of amounts due under the Loan Agreement, the failure of the Company to adhere to the covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement, the insolvency of the Company or upon the occurrence of a material adverse change.
 
On
February 
14,
2018,
the Company entered into Amendment
No.
 
2
to the Loan Agreement to, among other things:
 
 
extend the interest only payment period and the period during which the Company
may
elect to pay a portion of the interest in PIK interest payments through
June 
30,
2021;
 
provide for a
15%
facility fee to be paid on the maturity date (“final facility fee”);
 
permit the Company to make the entire interest payment for payment dates in
2018
and
2019
in PIK interest payments, provided
no
default has occurred and is continuing;
 
extend the maturity date to
June 
30,
2023;
 
modify certain of the covenants, including the indebtedness covenant, lien covenant and restricted payments covenant, to eliminate or modify permitted exceptions to the restrictions in those covenants;
 
modify the financial covenants to reduce the minimum liquidity requirement to
$3,500,000
at all times, to eliminate the minimum revenue requirements for
2018
and
2019,
and to reduce the minimum revenue requirements to
$15,000,000
million for
2020,
$20,000,000
for
2021
and
$25,000,000
for
2022;
and
 
provide CRG with board observer rights.
 
As of
March 31, 2019,
the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Loan Agreement.
 
As of
March 31, 2019,
principal, final facility fee and PIK payments due under the Loan Agreement are as follows (in thousands):

In connection with drawdowns under the Loan Agreement, the Company recorded aggregate debt discounts of
$1.3
million as contra-debt. The debt discounts are being amortized as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Loan Agreement. As of
March 31, 2019
and
December 
31,
2018,
the balance of the aggregate debt discount was approximately
$714,000
and
$757,000,
respectively. The Company’s interest expense associated with the debt discount amounted to
$43,000
and
$26,000
during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018,
respectively. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018,
the Company incurred interest expense of approximately
$350,000
and
$4.7
million, respectively.
 
Due to the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern and the material adverse change clause in the Loan Agreement with CRG, the entire amount of borrowings at
March 
31,
2019
and
2018
is classified as current in these financial statements. CRG has
not
invoked the material adverse change clause.
