ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On July 25, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement") with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC,
AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd. and AJW Partners, LLC
(collectively, the "Investors"). Under the terms of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Investors purchased an aggregate of (i) $2,000,000 in callable
convertible secured notes (the "Notes") and (ii) warrants to purchase 10,000,000
shares of our common stock (the "Warrants").
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investors will purchase the
Notes and Warrants in three tranches as set forth below:
1. On July 26, 2006, the Investors purchased Notes aggregating
$700,000 and Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our
common stock;
2. On September 12, 2006, the Investors purchased Notes
aggregating $600,000 after we filed a registration statement
with the SEC on Form SB-2 on September 11, 2006 registering
the shares of common stock underlying the Notes ("Registration
Statement"); and
3. Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the
Investors will purchase Notes aggregating $700,000.
The Notes carry an interest rate of 6% per annum and a maturity date of July 25,
2009. The notes are convertible into our common shares at the Applicable
Percentage of the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for our shares
of common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period prior to conversion.
The "Applicable Percentage" means 50%; provided, however, that the Applicable
Percentage shall be increased to (i) 55% in the event that a Registration
Statement is filed within thirty days of the closing and (ii) 60% in the event
that the Registration Statement becomes effective within one hundred and twenty
days from the Closing.
At our option, we may prepay the Notes in the event that no event of default
exists, there are a sufficient number of shares available for conversion of the
Notes and the market price is at or below $.25 per share. In addition, in the
event that the average daily price of the common stock, as reported by the
reporting service, for each day of the month ending on any determination date is
below $.25, we may prepay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the
Notes equal to 101% of the principal amount hereof divided by thirty-six (36)
plus one month's interest. Exercise of this option will stay all conversions for
the following month. The full principal amount of the Notes is due upon default
under the terms of Notes. In addition, the Company has granted the investors a
security interest in substantially all of its assets and intellectual property
as well as registration rights.
Upon closing the first tranche, we simultaneously issued to the Investors seven
year warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $.30.
The Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the
Notes and exercise the Warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock
such that the number of shares of the Company's common stock held by them and
their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
We will receive the third tranche of the funding when the SB-2 is declared
effective by the SEC. There are penalty provisions for us should the filing not
become effective within 135 days of the Closing Date. The Notes are secured by
all of our assets to the extent of the outstanding note.
ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION
UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT
The sale of the second tranche of Notes described in Item 1.01 was completed on
September 12, 2006. At the closing, we became obligated to the Investors for
$600,000 in face amount of the Notes. The Notes are a debt obligation arising
other than in the ordinary course of business which constitutes a direct
financial obligation of us.
ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The Notes and Warrants referenced in Item 1.01 were offered and sold to the
Investors in a private placement transaction in reliance upon exemptions from
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506
of Regulation D promulgated thereto. Each of the Investors is an accredited
investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of
1933.
