Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 28, 2012, the Registrant entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (each an “Exchange Agreement” and collectively, the “Exchange Agreements”) with each of W-Net Fund I, L.P., Europa International Inc., Sterling Scott, Robert Shapero, Lauri S. Bilawa, Carla Badaracco and Forglen, LLC (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”). The Exchange Agreements amended the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2012 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors purchased from the Registrant 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), which were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms thereof at an exercise price of $0.035 per share.

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, each Investor agreed to exchange the existing Notes for Amended and Restated 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms thereof at an exercise price of $0.007 per share, and provide for no price-based anti-dilution protection.

Additionally, in connection with the Exchange Agreements, the Investors invested additional capital and/or converted existing advances into the Notes and accordingly, the principal balance under the Notes was increased from $1,495,129 to $1,918,077.

The Notes pay 6% interest per annum with a maturity date of April 15, 2015. No cash interest payments are required, except that accrued and unconverted interest shall be due on the maturity date and on each conversion date with respect to the principal amount being converted, provided that such interest may be added to and included with the principal amount being converted. If there is an uncured event of default (as defined in the Notes), the holder of each Note may declare the entire principal and accrued interest amount immediately due and payable. Default interest will accrue after an event of default at an annual rate of 12%. The Notes may be prepaid by us at any time upon ten days’ prior written notice to the holders of the Notes, and the Notes may not be forced by us to be converted.

The Notes are secured by first priority security interests in all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, including intellectual property. Upon an event of default under the Notes or such agreements, the Note holders may be entitled to foreclose on any of such assets or exercise other rights available to a secured creditor under California and Delaware law. In addition, our subsidiaries guaranteed all of our obligations under the Notes.

As a result of the Exchange Agreements, each Note is convertible at any time into common stock at $0.007 per share. The Note conversion price will be subject to specified adjustments for certain changes in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, including conversions or exchanges of such.

The Notes will greatly restrict the ability of our company or our subsidiaries to grant liens on our or their respective assets without the Note holders’ consent.

The issuance of the Notes, and the issuance of the shares of our common stock underlying such Notes upon the conversion thereof, is intended to be exempt from registration under Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Sterling Scott is the Registrant’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and advances working capital from time to time to the Registrant.
