As part of the Company’s restructuring plan, on November 14, 2011 the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of $8.3 million of securities (the “Offering”) consisting of 416,500 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) having a stated value of $20.00 per share and convertible into 50 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (or an aggregate of 20,825,000 shares of Common Stock) and 4,165,000 one-year warrants (the “A Warrants”). These securities were issued at a purchase price of $20,000 per unit (the “Unit”). Each Unit consists of 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which have subsequently converted into 50,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000 A Warrants. Each A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock and a three-year warrant (the “B Warrants”), at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Each B Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. On October 5, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company unconditionally extended the exercise period of the Company’s outstanding A Warrants by ninety (90) days. The exercise period under the A Warrants was previously set to expire on November 14, 2012. Holders of the A Warrants may now exercise their rights thereunder through February 12, 2013. The Board of Directors provided for this extension because the Company’s Registration Statement relating in part to the resale of the common shares underlying the A Warrants has not yet been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
