Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 23, 2006, we entered into a financing arrangement (the “Credit Facility”) with Oxford Finance Corporation to provide for borrowing of up to $10.0 million through December 31, 2006. The Credit Facility is governed by a Master Security Agreement dated August 23, 2006 and related documents.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, as the Credit Facility is utilized, separate promissory notes will be executed for each drawdown. We will be required to repay any promissory notes issued under the Credit Facility in equal monthly installments over 36 months from the date of the applicable drawdown. The interest rates for the amounts that we draw down under the Credit Facility will vary based on the timing of each drawdown. Specifically the interest rates will be based on the three year United States Treasury Bill weekly average rate at the time of the applicable drawdown plus 6.50%. Any promissory notes will be collateralized by a first priority interest in all of our assets except for our intellectual property.

The foregoing description of the credit facility is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Master Security Agreement and related documents comprising the Credit Facility, which are filed as Exhibit 10.52 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
