Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 10, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment”) with Tonaquint, Inc. (“Tonaquint”) pursuant to which the terms of the secured promissory note issued to Tonaquint on September 10, 2014 (the “Note”) were amended to, among other things, extend the date upon which the balance of the Note is due to May 10, 2015. During the two-month extension, interest will accrue on the Note at a rate of the lesser of 18% per year or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, while the Note remains outstanding, Tonaquint will have the right to convert up to $150,000 of the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (1) $0.25 and (2) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the five business days prior to conversion. If the conversion price would be lower than $0.15 per share, the Company has the option of delivering the conversion amount in cash in lieu of shares. Tonaquint has agreed that, in any given calendar week, it will not sell conversion shares in an amount exceeding the greater of (a) 15% of the Company’s weekly dollar trading volume in that week, or (b) $75,000. Tonaquint has further agreed not to engage in any “short sale” transactions in the Company’s common stock during the two-month extension.

The amended Note was, and the shares issued upon conversion will be, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company made this determination based on the representations in the Amendment that Tonaquint is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D and has access to information about its investment and about the Company.

The above description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report and incorporated herein by reference.

This current report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The amended Note has not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
