In August 2014, the Company entered into a $7.5 million secured term loan from a finance company. The loan was secured by a lien on all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property, which was subject to a negative pledge. The loan contained certain additional nonfinancial covenants. In connection with the loan agreement, the Company’s cash and investment accounts were subject to account control agreements with the finance company that gave the finance company the right to assume control of the accounts in the event of a loan default. Loan defaults were defined in the loan agreement and included, among others, the finance company’s determination that there was a material adverse change in the Company’s operations. Interest on the loan was at a rate of the greater of 7.95%, or 7.95% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal minus 3.25%. On August 1, 2017, the term loan matured and the Company made a final payment of $494,231 which included a termination fee of $187,500. Debt consisted of the following as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
