The loan will be repaid through, and secured by, royalties payable to the Company under its Development, Alliance and Supply Agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. (the "Biosense Agreement"). The Biosense Agreement relates to the development and distribution of magnetically enabled catheters used with Stereotaxis' Niobe robotic system in cardiac ablation procedures. Under the terms of the Agreement, Cowen Royalty will be entitled to receive 100% of all royalties due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement until the loan is repaid.
The loan is a full recourse loan, matures on December 31, 2018, and bears interest at an annual rate of 16% payable quarterly with royalties received under the Biosense Agreement. If the payments received by the Company under the Biosense Agreement are insufficient to pay all amounts of interest due on the loan, then such deficiency will increase the outstanding principal amount on the loan. After the loan obligation is repaid, royalties under the Biosense Agreement will again be paid to the Company. The loan is also secured by certain assets and intellectual property of the Company. The Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants.
The Company has the option to prepay the loan in whole (but not in part) at any time by making a prepayment amount calculated as follows: (a) if the prepayment occurs prior to the third anniversary of the funding date, the prepayment amount will be an amount equal to 150% of the principal amount of the loans received by the Company plus then accrued and unpaid interest (less the amount of payments made), and (b) if the prepayment of the loan occurs on or after the third anniversary of the funding date, the prepayment amount will be an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest up to the prepayment date, multiplied by the applicable percentage listed below:
Prepayment Date and Premium:
In addition, on November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (Domestic) (the "Amended Loan Agreement") with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank") to amend the terms of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 11, 2009 (as amended, the "Original Agreement"). The following describes the material modifications to the Original Agreement effected by the Amended Loan Agreement.
Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company agrees to maintain a minimum tangible net worth financial covenant, tested quarterly, of not less than ($17,500,000). The Bank agreed to waive testing of the liquidity ratio financial covenant for the monthly compliance period ending November 30, 2011. In addition, the liquidity ratio financial covenant for the monthly compliance period ending January 31, 2012, was changed to a liquidity ratio of not less than 1.25:1.00. Further, certain intellectual property assets of the Company were added to the collateral which secures repayment of the loan. Finally, the Amended Loan Agreement permits the Company to repay Cowen Royalty under the Agreement with the royalties due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement, as described above.
On November 30, 2011, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Subsidiary") also entered into an Amended and Restated Export-Import Agreement (the "Ex-Im Agreement") with the Bank to amend the terms of that certain Export-Import Bank Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 11, 2009 (as amended, the "Original Ex-Im Agreement"). The Ex-Im Agreement modifies the Original Ex-Im Agreement to permit the Company to repay Cowen Royalty under the Agreement with the royalties due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement, as described above.
