Note Payable
  
On
May 22, 2017,
the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the
“2017
Loan Agreement”) with affiliates of CRG LP (“CRG”). The credit facility consists of
$20,000,000
drawn at closing and access to additional funding of up to an aggregate of
$10,000,000
for a total of
$30,000,000
available under the credit facility. On
December 29, 2017,
the Company accessed the remaining
$10,000,000
available under the credit facility.
 
A portion of the initial loan proceeds were used to repay all of the amounts owed by the Company under its
2016
Loan Agreement with Western Alliance Bank. The remainder of the loan proceeds (after deducting loan origination costs and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
2017
Loan Agreement), plus any additional amounts that
may
be borrowed in the future, will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital.
   
The
2017
Loan Agreement has a
six
-year term with
four
years of interest-only payments after which quarterly principal and interest payments will be due through the maturity date. Amounts borrowed under the
2017
Loan Agreement accrue interest at an annual fixed rate of
12.5%,
4.0%
of which
may,
at the election of the Company, be paid in-kind during the interest-only period by adding such accrued amount to the principal loan amount each quarter. During the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019,
the Company paid interest in-kind of
$331,000
and
$973,000,
respectively, which was added to the total outstanding principal loan amount. During the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2018,
the Company paid interest in-kind of
$318,000
and
$934,000,
respectively, which was added to the total outstanding principal loan amount. The Company is also required to pay CRG a final payment fee upon repayment of the loans in full equal to
5.0%
of the sum of the aggregate principal amount plus the deferred interest added to the principal loan amount during the interest-only period. The Company accounts for the final payment fee by accruing the fee over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. As of
September 30, 2019,
interest accrued related to the final payment fee in the amount of
$756,000
was included in other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
  
 
The Company
may
prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest under the
2017
Loan Agreement at any time upon prior notice to CRG, subject to a prepayment fee during the
first
five
years of the term (which reduces each year) and
no
prepayment fee thereafter.
 
As security for its obligations under the
2017
Loan Agreement, the Company entered into security agreements with CRG whereby the Company granted CRG a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual property.
  
The terms of the
2017
Loan Agreement also require the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants. These covenants require the Company to maintain cash and cash equivalents of
$2.0
million and, each year through the end of
2022,
to meet a minimum total annual revenue threshold. In the event that the Company does
not
meet the minimum total annual revenue threshold for a particular year, then the Company can retroactively cure the shortfall by either issuing additional equity in exchange for cash or incurring certain additional permitted indebtedness, in each case, in an amount equal to
2.0
times the shortfall. Any such amounts shall be applied to prepay the loans. The
2017
Loan Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for a credit facility of this size and type, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make investments, make acquisitions, enter into transactions with affiliates, pay dividends or make distributions, license intellectual property rights on an exclusive basis or repurchase stock, in each case subject to customary exceptions. As of
September 30, 2019,
the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
 
As of
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018,
$31,694,000
and
$30,528,000,
respectively, was recorded on the balance sheets under the
2017
Loan Agreement, respectively, which is net of the remaining unamortized debt discount.
 
In connection with the
2017
Loan Agreement, the Company issued
two
10
-year warrants to CRG to purchase a total of
2,220
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$950.00
per share (See Note
9
). 
   
As of
September 30, 2019,
