7. NOTES PAYABLE

The 2010 Exchange Agreement

Effective as of December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “2010 Exchange Agreement”) with the Shaar Fund, Ltd. (“Shaar”) and Thomas Colatosti (“Colatosti”). Pursuant to the 2010 Exchange Agreement, Shaar exchanged all of its outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2009 issued by the Company to Shaar in the original principal amount of $673,079 for an installment payment of $500,000 and a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $3,157,759 (the “Shaar Note”). The installment payment was made in January 2011. Shaar also exchanged all of its existing warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, exercisable for an aggregate of 5,108,333 shares, for a new five-year warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In addition, pursuant to the 2010 Exchange Agreement, Mr. Colatosti agreed to exchange all of his outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2009 issued by the Company to Mr. Colatosti in the original principal amount of $64,878 for a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $350,804 (the “Colatosti Note”).

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company made a cash payment to Shaar in the amount of $500,000 at the closing of the exchange and also paid approximately $125,209 to Shaar on January 31, 2011 in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to Shaar for all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock formerly held by Shaar.

The principal and interest, which will also accrue at a rate of seven percent per annum under the Colatosti Note is scheduled to be repaid by the Company in cash on December 31, 2012. The Company’s obligations under the Shaar Note and the Colatosti Note are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and Mr. Colatosti’s right of payment under the Colatosti Note is subordinated to the rights of Shaar under the Shaar Note.

The Company recorded the warrants at their relative fair value as of the inception date of the agreement. As the warrants were classified as equity instruments, no further accounting adjustment is required. The initial fair value of the warrants was recorded as a discount to the Notes Payable and will be amortized to interest expense over the two-year expected term of the debt, using the effective interest method.

Effective as of May 20, 2011, the Company exercised its option to prepay the balance due of $3,157,759 owed to Shaar on its Secured Promissory Note. In consideration of the $150,000 discount granted by the Company for the early payment of the Note Receivable (see “Note 6 — Note Receivable”), the Company’s Secured Promissory Note holders agreed to absorb $50,000 of the discount, with the remainder borne by the Company. The discount was prorated to both Note holders which reduced the Shaar payment by $45,624 and the principle amount owed on the Colatosti Note by $4,376. The total amount paid by the Company to Shaar was $3,192,421 and included principal of $3,157,759, interest of $80,286 less Shaar’s share of the discount described above.
