4. NOTE PAYABLE AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

Note Payable Obligation


On December 9, 2008, we borrowed $5,000,000 from MidCap Financial LLC and BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P (collectively, the “Lenders”) under a term loan payable over three years. On December 1, 2011, the loan balance was paid in full.


In connection with the term loan, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 338,410 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.48 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $414,000 and this amount was credited to additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the debt, reflected as a debt discount in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 70.72%; risk free interest rate of 2.00%; an expected life of five years; and no dividend yield. The debt discount was amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the outstanding loan using the effective interest method. During fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, we amortized $12,000, $113,000, and $202,000 in non-cash interest expense, which amounts are included in interest and other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The discount was fully amortized as of December 1, 2011.


In connection with the term loan, we also incurred $469,000 in financing fees and legal costs related to the closing the term loan. These fees were classified as debt issuance costs and were amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the outstanding loan using the effective interest method. During fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, we amortized $21,000, $122,000, and $228,000 in non-cash interest expense, which amounts are included in interest and other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The debt issuance costs were fully amortized as of December 1, 2011.
