When issued, the principal amount of the loan was payable in three $10 million annual installments beginning in February 2017, provided that the installments due in February 2017 and 2018 could be deferred one year if prior to such payment date we achieve a certain market capitalization milestone.  See, Note 9, “Deerfield Loan,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2014 Form 10-K.  Accordingly, if the milestones were achieved in each year, payment of the principal amount could be deferred until the sixth anniversary date of the loan on February 13, 2019.  In July 2015, we restructured the Deerfield Loan by prepaying $5.0 million of the outstanding principal amount, prepaying (in the form of securities issued in the July 2015 public offering) $5.0 million in future interest obligations, reducing the interest rate on remaining interest from 8.75% to 8.25%, eliminating the installment due in February 2017 and adjusting the remaining maturities.  (see, Note 8, “Subsequent Events – Deerfield Loan Restructuring”)

Cash interest expense represents interest at an annual rate of 8.75% on the outstanding principal amount for the period, paid in cash on a quarterly basis.  Non-cash amortization of debt discount represents the amortization of transaction fees and the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Deerfield Loan.  The amortization of debt costs represents legal costs incurred in connection with the Deerfield Loan.

In connection with the Deerfield Loan, we issued the Deerfield Warrants to purchase 7.0 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.81 per share that expire on February 13, 2019.  The Deerfield Warrants are derivatives that qualify for an exemption from liability accounting provided in ASC 815 and are classified as equity.  See, Note 9, “Deerfield Loan,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2014 Form 10-K.
