Note 5: Debt

On April 3, 2012 (“Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Isaac Capital Group, LLC (“ICG”) pursuant to which ICG agreed to purchase for cash up to $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s unsecured Subordinated Convertible Notes (“Notes”). ICG is owned by Jon Isaac, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a director on the Company’s Board. Prior to this transaction, Mr. Isaac owned 403,225 shares, or 16.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, which are unsecured, provide that all amounts payable by the Company to ICG under the Notes will be due and payable on April 3, 2013 (“Maturity Date”), provided that the Company has the option in its discretion to extend the Maturity Date by up to one (1) year if no Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, and the Company is in material compliance with its agreements and covenants under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, as of the Maturity Date.

 

Effective as of April 3, 2012, the Company and ICG amended the Purchase Agreement to clarify ambiguities related to the warrant issuance timing and the conversion price of a Note, and to amend various anti-dilution features. These changes were consistent with the intent of the parties at the time they entered into the Purchase Agreement and are consistent with the Company’s past practices related to the Notes and warrants. In particular, the amendment clarifies that the warrants will be issued upon conversion (rather than upon issuance) of the Notes and provides that the conversion price of a Note shall be based upon a floor price of $1.00 per share, regardless if the Company’s stock is trading below that amount at the time ICG elects to convert a Note.

 

The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, as amended, provide that:

 

  · The Notes will accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to 8%. All interest will be payable on the Maturity Date or upon the conversion of the applicable Note.

 

  · The Company has the option to prepay each Note, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.

 

  · If ICG elects to convert all or any portion of any Note, the Company must issue to ICG on the date of the conversion a warrant (“Contingent Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion. This number of shares is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, certain pro rata distributions, and certain fundamental transactions. Each Contingent Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of its issuance at an exercise price equal to 120% of the conversion price of the applicable Note (with the exercise price being subject to adjustment under the same conditions as the number of shares for which the warrant is exercisable.) The Contingent Warrants provide that they may be exercised in whole or in part and include a cashless exercise feature.

 

  · The Notes provide that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts payable to ICG will become immediately due and payable without any demand or notice.

 

  · The Company may issue additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,750,000 to ICG from time to time upon notice to ICG prior to April 3, 2013, provided that each Note must be in a principal amount of at least $100,000.

 

  · The Company: (i) is required to provide certain financial and other information to ICG from time to time; (ii) must maintain its corporate existence, business, assets, properties, insurance and records in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (iii) with certain exceptions, must not incur or suffer to exist any liens or other encumbrances with respect to the Company’s property or assets; (iv) must not make certain loans or investments, except in compliance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and (v) must not enter into certain types of transactions, including dispositions of its assets or business.

  

The events of default (“Events of Default”) which trigger the acceleration of the Notes include (among other things): (i) the Company’s failure to make any payment required under the Notes when due (subject to a three-day cure period), (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its covenants and agreements under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and any other transaction documents, and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control with respect to the Company.

 

The Company issued an initial Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to ICG (“Note No. 1”) on the Closing Date. Because the conversion price of $2.53 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $166,667. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on the Closing Date. The discount to Note No. 1 is being amortized to interest expense until maturity or its earlier repayment or conversion

 

As mentioned above, the Purchase Agreement, as amended, contains contingent provisions for the adjustment of the conversion ratio and conversion price, and the issuance of Contingent Warrants upon conversion.

 

On September 10, 2012, ICG elected to convert the Note No. 1 with a conversion price of $2.38 per share, resulting in the issuance of 109,139 shares. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, warrants to acquire 109,139 shares were issued upon conversion with an exercise price of ($2.38 x 120%) $2.85 per share. Upon conversion of Note No. 1, the remaining debt discount of $97,222 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debt conversion of Note No. 1 was $322,927 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.

 

On December 11, 2012, the Company issued a second Note to ICG in the principal amount of $250,000 (“Note No. 2”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the conversion price of $2.02 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $200,738. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on December 11, 2012. On December 17, 2012, ICG elected to convert Note No. 2, resulting in the issuance of 123,829 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to acquire 123,829 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.43 per share. Upon conversion of the Note No. 2, the remaining debt discount of $196,556 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the conversion of Note No. 2 was $550,016 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.

 

On March 22, 2013 and March 25, 2013, the Company issued a third and fourth Note to ICG in the principal amount of $500,000 (“Note No. 3”) and $250,000 (“Note No. 4”), respectively, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the conversion price of $1.38 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to beneficial conversion features valued at $401,386. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on March 25, 2013. On March 27, 2013, ICG elected to convert Note Nos. 3 and 4, resulting in the issuance of 543,962 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to acquire 543,962 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.66 per share. Upon conversion of Note Nos. 3 and 4, the remaining debt discount of $396,977 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the conversion of Note Nos. 3 and 4 was $1,299,884 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.

 

.On March 28, 2013, the Company issued a fifth Note to ICG in the principal amount of $250,000 (“Note No. 5”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the conversion price of $1.40 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $250,000. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on March 28, 2013. On March 28, 2013, ICG elected to convert Note No. 5, resulting in the issuance of 178,572 additional shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to acquire 178,572 shares at an exercise price of $1.68 per share. Upon conversion of Note No. 5, the debt discount of 250,000 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the conversion of Note No. 5 was $589,442 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds of all Notes issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
