John Pappajohn, a member of the Board of Directors and stockholder, had personally guaranteed our revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank through March 31, 2014. As consideration for his guarantee, as well as each of the eight extensions of this facility through March 31, 2014, Mr. Pappajohn received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,051,506 shares of common stock of which Mr. Pappajohn assigned warrants to purchase 284,000 shares of common stock to certain third parties. Warrants to purchase 440,113 shares of common stock have been exercised by Mr. Pappajohn through June 30, 2014. After adjustment pursuant to the terms of the warrants in conjunction with our IPO, the number of these warrants outstanding retained by Mr. Pappajohn was 585,645 at $15.00 per share.
In addition, John Pappajohn also had loaned us an aggregate of $6,750,000 (all of which was converted into 675,000 shares of common stock at the IPO price of $10.00 per share). In connection with these loans, Mr. Pappajohn received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 202,630 shares of common stock. After adjustment pursuant to the terms of the warrants in conjunction with our IPO, the number of warrants outstanding was 436,079 at $15.00 per share at June 30, 2014.
On January 3, 2014, the board of directors appointed John Pappajohn to serve as the Chairman of the Board, a position previously held by Dr. Raju S.K. Chaganti, effective January 6, 2014. As compensation for serving as the Chairman of the Board, the Company will pay Mr. Pappajohn $100,000 per year and granted to Mr. Pappajohn 25,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock, and options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The options have a term of ten years from the date on which they were granted. The restricted stock and the options each vest in two equal installments on the one year anniversary and the two year anniversary of the date on which Mr. Pappajohn became the Chairman of the Board.
On May 19, 2006, we issued a convertible promissory note in favor of our then Chairman and founder, Dr. Chaganti, the holder, which obligated us to pay the holder the sum of $100,000, together with interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, due April 1, 2014. Interest expense totaled $2,400 through April 10, 2013. On April 10, 2013 the note and accrued interest converted into 13,430 shares of common stock at the IPO price of $10.00 per share. Pursuant to a consulting and advisory agreement, Dr. Chaganti also received options to purchase a total of 36,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share which vested over a two year period. Total non-cash stock-based compensation recognized under the consulting agreement for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $0 and $54,650, respectively. Additionally, on September 15, 2010, we entered into a three year consulting agreement with Dr. Chaganti which was subsequently renewed through December 31, 2016 pursuant to which Dr. Chaganti receives $5,000 per month for providing consulting and technical support services. Total expenses for each of the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $15,000. Pursuant to the terms of the renewed consulting agreement, Dr. Chaganti received an option to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $15.89 per share vesting over a period of four years. Also pursuant to the consulting agreement, Dr. Chaganti assigned to us all rights to any inventions which he may invent during the course of rendering consulting services to us. In exchange for this assignment, if the USPTO issues a patent for an invention on which Dr. Chaganti is listed as an inventor, we are required to pay Dr. Chaganti (i) a one-time payment of $50,000 and (ii) 1% of any net revenues we receive from any licensed sales of the invention. In 2014 we paid Dr. Chaganti $150,000 which was recognized as an expense in fiscal 2013 when three patents were issued.
In August 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Equity Dynamics, Inc., an entity controlled by John Pappajohn, pursuant to which Equity Dynamics, Inc. received a monthly fee of $10,000 plus reimbursement of expenses. The consulting agreement was terminated effective March 31, 2014. Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $0 and $30,000, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $30,000 and $60,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, we owed Equity Dynamics, Inc. $0.
