Cash interest expense represents interest at an annual rate of 8.75% on the outstanding principal amount for the period, payable quarterly in cash.  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 loan, we issued to 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,” to the consolidated financial statements in our 2013 Form 10-K.
