On December 6, 2016, the Company amended the Facility (the “Amended Facility”) and raised the Lender’s commitment amount to $13,200, including the remaining balance from the Facility of $1,800. On July 17, 2018, the Company amended the Amended Facility (the “Second Amended Facility”) to extend the period the Company is required to pay only the interest on the loan from May 31, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and to extend the expiration date of certain warrants to purchase 363,771 common shares issued to the Lender with an original issue date of July 25, 2019 to December 6, 2021. The Company accounted for this as a debt modification, and as a result of the extension of the warrant expiration date in connection with the Second Amended Facility, the debt discount was increased by $386. This amount represents the incremental fair value of the modified warrants. The total principal amount of the loan under the Amended Facility outstanding at September 30, 2018, including the $300 exit fee discussed below, is $15,300. The principal amount of the loan made under the Second Amended Facility accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR (subject to a 5.00% cap) or (b) 1.00%, plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin will be 11.00%. The Company was required to only pay interest initially until May 31, 2018, which date has been extended to December 31, 2018, pursuant to the Second Amended Facility. The interest rate as of September 30, 2018 was 13.125%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, and during the continuance of an event of default, the Applicable Margin, defined above, will be increased by 4.00% per annum. This term loan facility matures December 6, 2019 and includes both financial and non-financial covenants, including a minimum cash balance requirement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2018. Pursuant to the Amended Facility, the Company agreed to appoint a representative of the lender on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) who was also a portfolio manager of the Company’s largest shareholder. Effective January 2018, the Lender’s representative resigned from our Board. The Company’s obligations under the Second Amended Facility are secured on a senior basis by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries. The Second Amended Facility also contains customary events of default. The total debt discount of $3,839 is being charged to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the unamortized debt discount is $1,616 and $2,163.
