Unsecured Debt
 
In April 2010, we entered into a secured loan agreement with an accredited investor in a private placement. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company received a loan of $250,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum, with interest payable in advance with the principal due in April 2011 at maturity.  The interest paid in advance was recorded as a debt discount, which is amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the loan. In addition, the Company issued 27,778 shares of common stock as additional compensation which was recorded as a deferred loan cost, which is amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the loan. The pledged collateral was subsequently released by the lender in September 2010. The effective interest rate on the loan was calculated as 31.5%. There are no financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain.
 
In June 2011, the outstanding principal loan balance of $250,000 was converted into a 16.0% senior convertible debenture through a private placement for an aggregate principal amount of $250,000, which matures in June 2012. A consent and waiver was obtained from the majority of the Series A Preferred holders and a waiver was obtained from a majority of the Series B Preferred holders, as required in the certificate of designation. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.26 per share for a total of 198,413 common shares on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits and related distributions. In June 2012, the agreement was amended and the maturity date of the debenture was extended to June 22, 2013.
 
As part of the private placement, the investor received a warrant to purchase 238,095 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The warrant is exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $1.512, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits and related distributions.  The investor may exercise the warrant on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrant are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The outstanding warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution protection clauses which provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.  Accordingly, the fair value of the stock warrants is classified as a warrant liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  As part of the June 2012 amendment, the exercise period of the warrants was extended from three years to five years.
 
The Company separately valued the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in convertible securities as the difference, as of the commitment date, between the amount allocated to the convertible debenture and the fair value of the common stock underlying the convertible security. The embedded beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,448 separately, and was recognized by allocating to additional paid-in capital and discount on debt.
 
The total gross discount on the debenture issuance was $152,483, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over the twelve (12) month term of the loan. The effective interest rate on the debenture was calculated as 79.6%. There are no financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain.
 
In July 2010, we completed a sale in a private placement to an accredited, related party investor affiliated with Mosaic (see Note 6 for further details), for a 10.0% convertible debenture for an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (before deducting expenses and fees related to the private placement) due in July 2012.  A consent and waiver was obtained from the majority of the Series A Preferred holders and a waiver was obtained from a majority of the Series B Preferred holders, as required in the certificate of designation. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred at an initial conversion price of $1,000 per share and subject to adjustments, and each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 695 shares of the Company’s common stock for a total of 347,500 common shares on an as converted basis.  Interest on the note is payable quarterly and is calculated based on the higher of the average stock price for the five (5) prior trading days or $1.80 per common share.  In July 2012, the Company entered into an Amendment to the debenture agreement, in which the term of the loan was modified and extended for a period of one year by mutual consent.  As consideration for the extension, the interest rate for the debenture was increased from 10.0% to 16.0%.
 
The Company separately valued the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in convertible securities as the difference, as of the commitment date, between the conversion price of the convertible security and the fair value of the common stock underlying the convertible security. The embedded beneficial conversion feature was valued at $93,285 separately, and was recognized by allocating to additional paid-in capital and discount on debt. There are no financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain.
 
In December 2010, the Company completed a sale in a private placement to an accredited investor for a 12.5% senior convertible debenture for an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (before deducting expenses and fees related to the private placement) with periodic redemptions of $150,000 due in December 2011 and March 2012, plus any unpaid interest. The Company has the option to pay all or part of the December 2011 periodic redemptions with shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain Equity Conditions, as defined in the loan agreement.  These Equity Conditions include, among others, the Company’s compliance with honoring all conversions and redemptions, payment of all liquidated damages of the debenture, an effective registration to allow for resale of the common shares and the ability to resell such common pursuant to Rule 144.  A consent and waiver was obtained from the majority of the Series A Preferred holders and a waiver was obtained from a majority of the Series B Preferred holders as required in the certificate of designation. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.44 per share for a total of 208,334 common shares on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment.
 
As part of the private placement, the investor received a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The warrant is exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $1.73, subject to adjustment.  The investor may exercise the warrant on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrant are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The outstanding warrants are subject certain anti-dilution protection clauses which provide exercise price adjustments in the event that any common stock or common stock equivalents are issued at an effective price per share that is less than the exercise price per share.  Accordingly, the stock warrants were classified as a warrant liability.
 
The Company separately valued the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in convertible securities as the difference, as of the commitment date, between the amount allocated to the convertible debenture and the fair value of the common stock underlying the convertible security. The embedded beneficial conversion feature was valued at $52,014 separately, and was recognized by allocating to additional paid-in capital and discount on debt.
 
The total gross discount on the debenture issuance was $190,277, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over the fifteen (15) month term of the loan.  The effective interest rate on the loan was calculated as 68.4%. There are no financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain.
 
In May 2011, the existing $300,000 convertible debenture and related warrants were cancelled and exchanged for a 16.0% senior convertible debenture due December 1, 2012 in a private placement.  As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $16,923.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company completed sales through private placements to accredited investors of 16.0% senior convertible debentures for an aggregate principal amount of $1,865,384 (before deducting expenses and fees related to the private placements). The proceeds from the private placements included the cancellation of a $300,000 convertible debenture and related warrants resulting in cash gross proceeds of an aggregate of $1,565,384 from these private placements. The Company incurred an aggregate total of $222,543 in cash fees and expenses related to the private placements resulting in cash net proceeds of an aggregate of $1,342,841 from the private placements. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.26 per share for an aggregate total of 1,480,469 common shares on an as converted basis, subject to adjustment.  A consent and waiver was obtained from the majority of the Series A Preferred holders and a waiver was obtained from a majority of the Series B Preferred holders as required in the certificate of designation.
 
The debenture maturity dates range from December 2012 to May 2013 with two periodic redemptions of twenty-five percent (25%) of the original principal amount, plus any unpaid interest and a final redemption of fifty percent (50%) of the original principal amount plus any unpaid interest due at maturity. The Company has the option to pay all or part of the initial twenty-five percent (25%) redemption amount due with shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain Equity Conditions, as defined in the loan agreement.  These Equity Conditions include, among others, the Company’s compliance with honoring all conversions and redemptions, payment of all liquidated damages of the debenture, an effective registration to allow for resale of the common shares and the ability to resell such common pursuant to Rule 144.
 
In June and July 2012, six debenture holders entered into amendment agreements to extend the periodic redemption dates and maturity dates for an aggregate of $665,384 in debentures by one year.  As a result of the modification of the debenture terms, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $75,585.
 
In September 2012, a holder of three debentures entered into an amendment agreement to extend the periodic redemption dates and maturity dates of an aggregate total of $700,000 in debentures. The extended periodic redemptions of $175,000 are due in June 2013 and September 2013 with $350,000 plus any accrued interest is due at maturity on December 1, 2013. As a result of the modification of the debenture terms, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14,620.
 
Due to our current financial condition, we did not make the periodic redemption payments of $125,000 due on June 1, 2012 and September 1, 2012 to three debenture holders and may be unable to make the final payment due of $250,000 on or before December 1, 2012.  None of the debenture holders have issued a notice of default relating to our failure to make the periodic redemption payments on June 1, 2012 or September 1, 2012 under the debenture agreement.

In March 2009, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Brockington Securities Inc., a related party, for a credit limit of $300,000 with a term of one year bearing interest of 12.0% per annum. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company could request for advance from time to time, provided, however, any requested advance will not, when added to the outstanding principal advanced of all previous advances, exceed the credit limit. The Company could repay accrued interest and principal at any time, however no partial repayment would relieve the Company of the obligation of the entire unpaid principal together with any accrued interest and other unpaid charges.  There are no financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain.
 
The agreement has been subsequently extended.  The latest extension occurred in July 2012, pursuant to a Modification and Extension Agreement to the Revolving Line of Credit Agreement dated March 10, 2009, in which the term of the loan was modified and the maturity date of the loan was extended to June 30, 2014 by mutual consent.  All additional terms of the loan remain unchanged and the Company was not in violation of any provisions of the loan agreement.
