Deerfield Facility Agreement
 
In 
June 
2014,
 the Company entered into a 
$60
 million multi-tranche credit facility (the “Deerfield Facility Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, LP (“Deerfield”). At the time the Company entered into the Deerfield Facility Agreement, the Company borrowed the
first
tranche, which consisted of a term loan of 
$15
 million (the “Term Note”) and a senior secured loan of 
$10
 million (the “Deerfield Convertible Note”). Deerfield is
no
longer obligated to provide the Company any additional disbursements under the Deerfield Facility Agreement. Deerfield 
may 
convert any portion of the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on the Deerfield Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of 
$5.85
 per share (the "Deerfield Note Put Option").
  
The Deerfield Convertible Note originally bore interest at
9.75%
per annum, but was subsequently reduced to
6.75%.
Interest accrued on the outstanding balance under the Deerfield Convertible Note was due quarterly in arrears. The Company originally had to repay
one
-
third
of the outstanding principal amount of the Deerfield Convertible Note on the
fourth
and
fifth
anniversaries of the Deerfield Facility Agreement (
June 
2018
and
June 2019).
In
June 2018,
Deerfield agreed to convert the
$3,333,333
of the principal amount then due, plus
$168,288
of accrued interest, into
598,568
shares of our common stock (as discussed below in the section entitled "Facility Agreement Waiver and Fifth Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note"). In
September 
2019,
the Company entered into an amendment with Deerfield in order to (i) reduce the interest rate applicable under the Deerfield Facility Agreement from
9.75%
to
6.75%,
(ii) provide for “payment in kind” of interest on the Loans (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement), and (iii) defer the Loan payments due pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement until
June 
1,
2020
(as discussed below in the section entitled
"2021
Note Exchange Effected in
September 2019").
In
December 2019,
the Company entered into another amendment with Deerfield in order to (i) defer the Loan payments due pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement until
March 31, 2021
and (ii) allow for the entries of additional debt and debt holders under the Deerfield Facility Agreement (as discussed below in the section entitled
"2021
Note Exchange Effected in
December 2019"). 
The Company is also obligated to repay principal of the Deerfield Convertible Note in the amount of
$6,980,824
 plus any capitalized interest to date on
March 31, 2021.
Prepayment of the outstanding balance is
not
allowed without written consent of Deerfield.
 
Pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement, the Company issued to Deerfield 
1,923,077
 shares of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock ("Series D Preferred") as consideration for the loans provided to the Company thereunder. Upon completion of the initial public offering, these shares of Series D Preferred automatically reclassified into 
256,410
 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Company also issued to Deerfield a warrant to purchase 
14,423,076
 shares of Series D Preferred at an initial exercise price of 
$0.78
 per share, which is exercisable until 
June 
2,
 
2024
 (the “Deerfield Warrant”). Upon completion of the Company's initial public offering, the Deerfield Warrant automatically converted into a warrant to purchase 
1,923,077
 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of 
$5.85
 per share. This warrant qualifies as a participating security under ASC Topic 
260,
 Earnings per Share, and is treated as such in the net loss per share calculation (Note J). If a Major Transaction occurs (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement) Deerfield 
may 
require the Company to redeem the Deerfield Warrant for a cash amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of the portion of the Deerfield Warrant to be redeemed (the “Warrant Put Option”).
 
The Company recorded the fair value of the shares of Series D Preferred to debt issuance costs on the date of issuance. The Company also recorded the fair value of the Deerfield Warrant and the embedded Warrant Put Option to debt discount on the date of issuance. The debt issuance costs and debt discount are amortized over the term of the related debt and the expense is recorded as interest expense related to amortization of debt issuance costs and discount in the statements of operations.
 
Pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement, the Company 
may 
not
 enter into specified transactions, including a debt financing in the aggregate value of 
$750,000
 or more, other than permitted indebtedness under the Deerfield Facility Agreement, a merger, an asset sale or any other change of control transaction or any joint venture, partnership or other profit sharing arrangement, without the prior approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement). Additionally, if the Company were to enter into a major transaction, including a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets or other change of control transaction, Deerfield would have the ability to demand that prior to consummation of such transaction the Company repay all outstanding principal and accrued interest of any notes issued under the Deerfield Facility Agreement. Under each warrant issued pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement, Deerfield has the right to demand that the Company redeem the warrant for a cash amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of a portion of the warrant upon the occurrence of specified events, including a merger, an asset sale or any other change of control transaction.
 
The Deerfield Facility Agreement also includes high yield discount obligation protections that went into effect in
June 2019.
Going forward, if at any interest payment date our outstanding indebtedness under the Deerfield Facility Agreement would qualify as an "applicable high yield discount obligation" under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986
(the" Code") then the Company is obligated to prepay in cash on each such date the amount necessary to avoid such classification.
 
Issuance of
5.50%
Senior Convertible
Notes and Third Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note and Warrant
 
In 
February 2016, 
the Company issued 
$86.3
 million aggregate principal amount of its 
5.50%
 Senior Convertible Notes due 
2021
 (the 
“2021
 Notes”) to Cowen and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”), who subsequently resold the 
2021
 Notes to qualified institutional buyers (the “Note Offering”) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 
144A
 under the Securities Act.
 
The 
2021
 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of 
February 
9,
 
2016
 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Interest on the 
2021
 Notes was payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on 
February 
1
 and 
August 
1
 of each year, beginning on 
August 
1,
 
2016,
 at a rate of 
5.50%
 per year. The 
2021
 Notes had an original maturity of 
February 
1,
 
2021
 unless earlier converted or repurchased.
 
The net proceeds from the Note Offering were approximately 
$82.8
 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses. Concurrent with the Note Offering, the Company used approximately 
$18.6
 million of the net proceeds from the Note Offering to repay in full the Term Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, a make-whole interest payment and a prepayment premium on the Term Note.
 
The 
2021
 Notes were 
not
 redeemable prior to the maturity date, and 
no
 sinking fund was provided for the 
2021
 Notes. The 
2021
 Notes were convertible at an initial conversion rate of 
58.4454
 shares of the Company’s common stock per 
$1,000
 principal amount of the 
2021
 Notes, subject to adjustment under the Indenture, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately 
$17.11
 per share of common stock.
 
If the Company underwent a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders could have required that the Company repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 
2021
 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 
100%
 of the principal amount of the 
2021
 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. As
December 31, 2019,
the Company is bifurcating the fundamental change and make-whole interest payment provisions as embedded derivatives and marking them to fair value each reporting period (Note M).
 
The Indenture included customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 
2021
 Notes 
may 
be due and payable immediately.
 
As described in more detail below, in multiple exchanges occurring in
October 2018,
December 2019
and
January 2020,
all outstanding
2021
Notes were exchanged by the holders thereof for either shares of our common stock or senior secured convertible promissory notes issued under the terms of the Deerfield Facility Agreement.
 
Facility Agreement Waiver and Fifth Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note
 
In
June 2018,
the Company entered into the Facility Agreement Waiver and Fifth Amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the Deerfield Convertible Note with Deerfield. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, provided that (i)
$3,333,333
of the principal amount, plus
$168,288
of accrued interest, of the Deerfield Convertible Note issued pursuant to the terms of the Deerfield Facility Agreement was converted into
598,568
shares of the Company’s common stock, with such principal conversion amount being applied against and in full satisfaction of the amortization payment due
June 2, 2018; (
ii) Deerfield waived specified rights under the Deerfield Facility Agreement with regards to such principal and interest amount; and (iii) amended specified provisions of the Deerfield Convertible Note as they relate to the delivery of shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with any conversion of the Deerfield Convertible Note.
 
2021
Note Exchange Effected in
October 2018
 
In
October 2018,
the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the
“October 2018
Exchange Agreement”) with Deerfield and Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. (the “Deerfield Lenders”). Under the
October 2018
Exchange Agreement, the Deerfield Lenders exchanged an aggregate of
$9,577,000
principal amount of the
2021
Notes for an aggregate of
9,577
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001
("Series A Preferred Stock").
 
As a condition to closing of the
October 2018
Exchange Agreement, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State Delaware, setting forth the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an aggregate stated value of
$1,000
and is convertible into shares of common stock at a price equal to
$3.00
per share (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events). Immediately following the exchange under the
October 2018
Exchange Agreement, there were an aggregate of
3,192,333
 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (without giving effect to the limitation on conversion described below). As of
December 31, 2019,
all
9,577
shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the
October 2018
Exchange Agreement have been converted into an aggregate
3,192,333
shares of the Company's common stock.
 
2021
Note Exchange Effected in
September 2019
 
In
September 2019,
the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement and Amendment to Facility Agreement (the
“September 2019 
Exchange Agreement”) with the Deerfield Lenders. Under the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of
1,499,894
shares of the Company’s common stock and an aggregate of
1,576
shares of the Company’s Series B-
1
 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001
per share ("Series B-
1
Preferred Stock") (such shares of common stock and Series B-
1
 Preferred Stock, the “Initial Exchange Shares”), in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of
$3,000,000
principal amount of the Company’s
2021
 
Notes. The
September 2019
Exchange Agreement provided the Deerfield Lenders the option to exchange up to an additional aggregate of
$27,000,000
principal amount of the
2021
Notes (the “Optional Exchange Principal Amount”) for shares of common stock or shares of the Company’s Series B-
2
 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001
per share (the “Series B-
2
 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series B-
1
 Preferred Stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement, including limits as to the principal amount that can be exchanged prior to specified dates therein. If the Deerfield Lenders choose to exchange any portion of the Optional Exchange Principal Amount for shares of Series B-
2
 Preferred Stock, such exchange will be effected at an exchange price of
$1,000
per share. If the Deerfield Lenders choose to exchange any portion of the Optional Exchange Principal Amount for shares of common stock, such exchange will be effected at an exchange price equal to the greater of (i)
$0.9494,
or (ii) the average of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on each of the
15
trading days immediately preceding such exchange.
 
As a condition to closing of the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B-
1
 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-
1
 Certificate of Designation”) and a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B-
2
 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-
2
 Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State Delaware, setting forth the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series B-
1
 Preferred Stock and the Series B-
2
 Preferred Stock, respectively.
 
Each share of Series B-
1
 Preferred Stock has an aggregate stated value of
$1,000
and is convertible into shares of common stock at a per share price equal to
$0.9494
per share (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events). Immediately following the exchange under the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement, there were an aggregate of
1,659,996
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the then outstanding Series B-
1
Preferred Stock (without giving effect to the limitation on conversion described below). Each share of Series B-
2
 Preferred Stock has an aggregate stated value of
$1,000
and is convertible into shares of common stock at a per share price equal to the greater of (i)
$0.9494
(subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events), or (ii) the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on each of the
15
trading days immediately preceding such exchange. Immediately following the exchange under the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement there was an aggregate of
28,439,015
shares of Common Stock issuable (i) in exchange of the Optional Exchange Principal Amount, or (ii) upon conversion of the Series B-
2
 Preferred Stock issuable in exchange of the Optional Exchange Principal Amount (in each case without giving effect to the limitation on conversion described below).
 
The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Deerfield Lenders; provided that the Deerfield Lenders are prohibited from converting shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holders (together with certain affiliates and “group” members of such holders) would beneficially own more than
4.985%
of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock is
not
redeemable. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Deerfield Lenders will receive an amount equal to
$0.0001
per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends, and thereafter will share ratably in any distribution of the Company’s assets with holders of common stock and with the holders of any shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company entitled to share in such remaining assets of the Company (including the Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis). With respect to rights upon liquidation, the Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, if any is outstanding, and junior to existing and future indebtedness. Except as otherwise required by law (or with respect to approval of certain actions involving the Company’s organizational documents that materially and adversely affect the holders of Series B Preferred Stock), the Series B Preferred Stock does
not
have voting rights. The Series B Preferred Stock is
not
subject to any price-based anti-dilution protections and does
not
provide for any accruing dividends, but provides that holders of Series B Preferred Stock will participate in any dividends on the common stock on an as-converted basis (without giving effect to the limitation on conversion described above). The Series B-
1
 Certificate of Designation and the Series B-
2
 Certificate of Designation also provide for partial liquidated damages in the event that the Company fails to timely convert shares of Series B-
1
 Preferred Stock or Series B-
2
 Preferred Stock, respectively, into common stock in accordance with the applicable certificate of designation.
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
1,576
shares of Series B-
1
Preferred Stock have been converted into
1,659,966
shares of common stock, and there were
no
shares of Series B-
2
Preferred Stock outstanding.
 
The
September 2019
Exchange Agreement also amended the Deerfield Facility Agreement, in order to (i) reduce the interest rate applicable under the Deerfield Facility Agreement from
9.75%
to
6.75%,
(ii) provide for “payment in kind” of interest on the Loans (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement), and (iii) defer the Loan payments pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement until
June 
1,
2020.
The
September 2019
Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and the Holders. The
September 2019 
Exchange Agreement also requires the Company to reimburse the Holders for up to
$150,000
of expenses relating to the transactions contemplated by the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement.
 
The Company determined the changes to the Deerfield Facility Agreement met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring under ASC
470
-
60,
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors
, as the Company was experiencing financial difficulties and Deerfield granted a concession. The amendments to the terms of the Deerfield Facility Agreement resulted in
no
gain on restructuring because the total cash outflows required under the amended Deerfield Facility Agreement exceeded the carrying value of the original Deerfield Facility Agreement immediately prior to amendment. Prospectively, the Deerfield Facility Agreement, and the associated Deerfield Convertible Note will continue to be carried net of the associated discount and debt issuance costs which will be amortized and recorded as interest expense using a modified effective interest rate based on the amendments.
 
The changes to the
2021
Notes, under the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement, were accounted for as a debt modification with the
$2.3
 million change in fair value of the embedded conversion feature, associated with the Optional Exchange Principal Amount, recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital and as a debt discount to be amortized to interest expense under the effective interest method over the remaining term of the
2021
Notes.
 
2021
Note Exchange Effected in
December 2019
 
In
December 2019,
the Company entered into the 
December 2019
Exchange Agreement and Amendment to Facility Agreement, Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants (the
“December 2019
Exchange Agreement”) with the Deerfield Lenders and Delaware Street Capital Master Fund, L.P. (“DSC” and, collectively with the Deerfield Lenders, the
“December 2019
Holders”). Under the
December 2019
Exchange Agreement, the Company issued senior secured convertible promissory notes under the Deerfield Facility Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of
$71,418,011
 (the
“December 2019
Notes”), in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of
$71,418,011
 principal amount and accrued interest of the Company’s
2021
Notes. Upon entering into the
December 2019
Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the
December 2019
Holders, in the aggregate, an interest payment of
$745,011
 which represents
50%
of the accrued interest, as of
December 18, 2019,
on the
2021
Notes owned by the
December 2019
Holders. The remainder of such interest was included in the principal amount of the
December 2019
Notes.
 
The
December 2019
Notes bear interest at
6.75%
per annum. The
December 2019
Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of
$17.11
per share (which represents the conversion price of the
2021
Notes), subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the
December 2019
Notes. As of the date of issuance, the
December 2019
Notes were convertible, by their terms, into an aggregate of
4,174,051
shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company subsequently amended the
December 2019
Notes to provide that such notes shall be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of
$5.85
per share (which represents the conversion price of the Deerfield Convertible Note). The conversion price of the
December 2019
Notes will be adjusted downward if the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options at a sale or exercise price per share less than the greater of the
December 2019
Notes' conversion price or the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the last trading date immediately prior to such issuance, or, in the case of a firm commitment underwritten offering, on the date of execution of the underwriting agreement between the Company and the underwriters for such offering. However, if the Company effects an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 
415
 of the Securities Act or
1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), of its common stock, the conversion price of the
December 2019
Notes will be adjusted downward pursuant to this anti-dilution adjustment only if such sales are made at a price less than
$5.85
 per share, provided that this anti-dilution adjustment will
not
apply to any sales made under (
x
) the Purchase Agreement, (y) the Second ATM Agreement, or (z) the
September 2019
Exchange Agreement (as amended). Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in the
December 2019
Notes, the anti-dilution adjustment of such notes shall
not
result in the conversion price of the
December 2019
Notes being less than
$0.583
 per share. The
December 2019
Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holders thereof, provided that a holder of a
December 2019
Note is prohibited from converting such note into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder (together with certain affiliates and “group” members) would beneficially own more than
4.985%
of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. However, the
December 2019
Note issued to DSC, due to the fact DSC was a beneficial owner of more than
4.985%
of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding, has a beneficial ownership cap equal to
19.985%
of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the
December 2019
Notes, the
December 2019
Holders have the option to demand repayment of all outstanding principal, and any unpaid interest accrued thereon, in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined in the
December 2019
Notes), which shall include, among others, any acquisition or other change of control of the Company; a liquidation, bankruptcy or other dissolution of the Company; or if at any time after
March 
31,
2021,
shares of the Company’s common stock are
not
listed on an Eligible Market (as defined in the
December 2019
Notes). The
December 2019
Notes are subject to specified events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle the
December 2019
Holders to immediately demand repayment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the
December 2019
Notes. Such events of default include, among others, failure to make any payment under the
December 2019
Notes when due, failure to observe or perform any covenant under the Deerfield Facility Agreement (as defined below) or the other transaction documents related thereto (subject to a standard cure period), the failure of the Company to be able to pay debts as they come due, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company, a material judgement levied against the Company and a material default by the Company under the Deerfield Warrant, the
December 2019
Notes or the Deerfield Convertible Note.
 
The
December 2019
Exchange Agreement amends the Deerfield Facility Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) provide for the Deerfield Facility Agreement to govern the
December 2019
Notes received by the
December 2019
Holders pursuant to the
December 2019
Exchange Agreement, (ii) extend the maturity of the Deerfield Convertible Note from
February 
14,
2020
and
June 
1,
2020,
as applicable, to
March 
31,
2021,
(iii) defer interest payments on the Deerfield Convertible Note until
March 
31,
2021
(which such interest shall accrue as “payment-in-kind” interest), (iv) designate DSC as a Lender under (and as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement), (v) name Deerfield as the “Collateral Agent” for all Lenders and (vi) modify the terms and conditions under which the Company
may
issue additional pari passu and subordinated indebtedness under the Deerfield Facility Agreement (subject to certain conditions specified in the Deerfield Facility Agreement).
 
The
December 2019
Exchange Agreement also amends and restates the Deerfield Convertible Note to conform the definitions of “Eligible Market” and “Major Transactions” to the definition in the
December 2019
Notes, to remove provisions that were only applicable prior to the Company’s initial public offering and to make certain other changes to conform to the
December 2019
Notes. The conversion price for the Deerfield Convertible Note remains
$5.85
per share, subject to adjustment on the same basis as the existing senior secured convertible notes, but subject to a floor price of
$0.583.
 
The
December 2019
Exchange Agreement also amends the Deerfield Warrant to conform the definitions of “Eligible Market” and “Major Transaction” in the Warrant with the definitions of such terms in the
December 2019
Notes.
 
The
December 2019
Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and the
December 2019
Holders, including a covenant of the Company to, upon request, use commercially reasonable efforts to use its technology to discover a product based upon a compound that
may
be identified by the Deerfield Lenders in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to the Deerfield Lenders, or
one
of their affiliates, with the terms of such discovery plan, including the Company’s compensation thereunder, to be mutually agreed to by the parties.
 
In connection with entering into the
December 2019

The Company determined the changes to the Deerfield Convertible Note met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring under ASC
470
-
60,
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors
, as the Company was experiencing financial difficulties and Deerfield granted a concession. The amendments to the terms of the Deerfield Convertible Note resulted in
no
gain on restructuring because the total cash outflows required under the amended Deerfield Convertible Note exceeded the carrying value of the original Deerfield Convertible Note immediately prior to amendment. Prospectively, the Deerfield Convertible Note will continue to be carried net of the associated discount and debt issuance costs which will be amortized and recorded as interest expense using a modified effective interest rate based on the amendments.
 
The changes to the
2021
Notes, under the
December 2019
Exchange Agreement, referred to after as the
December 2019

December 2019
Notes will be carried net of the associated discount and debt issuance costs which will be amortized and recorded as interest expense using a modified effective interest rate based on the amendments.
