Loan and Security Agreements and Warrants

On September 30, 2011, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with MidCap Financial SBIC, LP (“MidCap”), as administrative agent, and the Lenders listed on Schedule 1 thereto. The Loan and Security Agreement was subsequently amended on May 14, and August 14, 2012 (the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, the “Midcap Loan”). The credit facility under the MidCap loan has a principal amount of $5.0 million and a term of 42 months, and is subject to prepayment penalties. Under the MidCap Loan, AxoGen is required to make interest only payments for the first 12 months, and payments of both interest and straight line amortization of principal for the remaining 30 months. The interest rate is 9.9% per annum, and interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed during which such interest accrues.

The agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, (i) covenants requiring AxoGen to comply with applicable laws, provide to MidCap copies of AxoGen’s financial statements, maintain appropriate levels of insurance, protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of AxoGen’s material intellectual property, (ii) covenants restricting AxoGen’s ability to dispose of all or any part of its assets (subject to certain exceptions), engage in other lines of business, change its senior management, enter into merger or consolidation transactions, incur or assume additional indebtedness, or incur liens on its assets, and (iii) covenants requiring the Company to meet certain minimum Net Invoiced Revenue, as defined in the agreement, or maintain a cash balance not less than 80% of the loan principal amount. The Company currently does not expect that it will meet its Net Invoiced Revenue requirement as of the September 1, 2012 compliance date, and there is no assurance that it will meet it thereafter in the future. The Company continues to maintain its required cash balance.

The MidCap Loan is secured by all of AxoGen’s assets. The lenders also received a ten-year warrant to purchase 89,686 shares of AxoGen’s common stock at $2.23 per share. The fair value of the warrant was $173,736 and was recorded as debt discount and is being amortized through interest expense – deferred financing costs using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. Amortization of debt discount was $12,269 and $24,507 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company also recorded $317,990 in deferred financing costs which is being amortized over the term of the loan. Amortization of the deferred financing cost was $22,714 and $45,427 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company currently has sufficient capital to maintain its compliance with the MidCap Loan Agreement cash covenant for approximately three months. As a result of AxoGen’s continuing capital needs and other factors, it is considering to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, royalty contracts or from other sources. The sale of additional equity may result in dilution to AxoGen’s shareholders. To the extent that the Company enters into additional financing transactions, the Company may use the proceeds from such financing transactions to repay the MidCap Loan and for general corporate purposes. There is no assurance that AxoGen will be able to secure additional funding on terms acceptable to it, or at all. Should additional capital not become available to AxoGen as needed, AxoGen may be required to take certain action, such as, slowing sales and marketing expansion, delaying certain regulatory activities or reducing headcount.
