The 2010 Note holders had the option to convert the outstanding balance of the notes including any accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a maximum conversion rate of $0.30 per share at any time.

 

The 2010 Notes were placed at a 20% discount from their face value and bore no interest except in case of an event of default, in which case they would bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum. The principal and any interest due on the 2010 Notes was due in 9 equal monthly installments starting in September 2010. Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions including the effectiveness of a registration statement and certain minimums on the amount and value of the shares of the Company’s common stock traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the Company could elect to pay amounts due on any installment date in either cash or shares of its common stock. Any shares of its common stock that the Company issued as payment on an installment date would have been issued at a price which would be equal to the lesser of $0.30 per share or 85% of the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on each of the twenty trading days immediately preceding the applicable installment date.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company paid $480,000 in cash, issued $240,000 in February 2011 Notes. Under the agreement, those holders released the Company from the remaining obligations under the securities purchase agreement entered into during fiscal year 2010, the 2010 security agreement and other conditions related to the issuance of the 2010 Notes.
