Highlight of Business Operations:

At September 30, 2009, $32.5 million of outstanding debt related to the Facility Agreement is included in long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon repayment of the initial tranche of the Facility Agreement, we recognized approximately $7.6 million as interest expense. Of the $7.6 million of interest expense, $6.4 million related to the debt discount for the unamortized balance of the fair value of the warrants issued on March 13, 2009 and the transaction fee paid to the lenders and $1.2 million related to the remaining deferred financing costs. Approximately $9.0 million and $10.5 million of interest expense was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Of the $9.0 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2009, approximately $0.9 million relates to cash interest, $0.5 million relates to amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing costs and $7.6 million relates to the charge taken for the unamortized portion of the debt discount and deferred financing costs. Of the $10.5 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, approximately $1.8 million relates to cash interest, $1.1 million relates to amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing costs and $7.6 million relates to the charge taken for the unamortized portion of the debt discount and deferred financing costs. The difference between the amount paid and the carrying value of the outstanding amounts under the Facility Agreement was recognized as a $7.6 million loss from extinguishment of debt.

At September 30, 2009, the outstanding amounts related to the 5.375% Notes of $63.4 million are included in long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reflect the debt discount of $21.6 million. At December 31, 2008, the outstanding amounts related to the 5.375% Notes of $60.2 million are included in long-term debt and have been retroactively restated as required by FASB ASC 470-20 to reflect the debt discount of $24.8 million. The debt discount includes the equity allocation of $25.8 million (which represents $26.9 million less the $1.1 million of allocated financing costs) offset by the accretion of the debt discount through interest expense from the issuance date in 2008 over the 5 year life of the notes. We recorded $1.1 million and $3.2 million of interest expense related to the debt discount in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. At September 30, 2009, the 5.375% Notes have a remaining life of 3.75 years. The statement of operations for the 2008 periods subsequent to the debt issuance on June 15, 2008, has been retroactively restated to reflect the additional interest expense pursuant to FASB ASC 470-20. We recorded $1.0 million and $1.1 million of interest expense related to the debt discount in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

We received net proceeds of approximately $81.5 million from this offering. Approximately $23.2 million of the proceeds from this offering were used to repay and terminate our outstanding term loan, and we are using the remainder for general corporate purposes. On June 16, 2008, we repaid the entire outstanding principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, under our existing term loan in the aggregate of approximately $21.8 million. Additionally, we paid a prepayment fee related to the term loan of approximately $0.4 million, a termination fee related to the term loan of $0.9 million, and incurred certain other expenses related to the repayment and termination of the term loan. We incurred interest expense related to the term loan of approximately $0 and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The term loan was subject to a loan origination fee of $0.9 million, which was recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and was amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the loan. The remaining balance of deferred financing costs of approximately $0.6 million was written off at the repayment and termination date. In connection with this term loan, we issued warrants to the lenders to purchase up to 247,252 shares of Series E preferred stock at a purchase price of $3.64 per share. The warrants automatically converted into warrants to purchase common stock on a 1-for-2.6267 basis at a purchase price of $9.56 per share at the closing of our initial public offering in May 2007. We recorded the $0.8 million fair value of the warrants as a discount to the term loan. Upon repayment and termination of the term loan, we recognized approximately $0.5 million as interest expense for the unamortized balance of the warrants fair value. The difference between the amount paid, including the prepayment fee, and the carrying value of the term loan, including the remaining deferred financing costs and unamortized warrants to purchase common stock, was recognized as a $1.5 million loss from early extinguishment of the term loan.
