Item 1.10 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Effective as of July 1, 2011, the Company closed a financing transaction under a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with St. George Investments, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Investor”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued a convertible secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $72,500 (the “First Note”). The Purchase Agreement also contains representations, warranties and indemnifications by the Company and the Investor.
The Purchase Agreement also provides that, subject to meeting certain conditions, and no Event of Default has occurred under any of the notes, the Investor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, loan to the Company an additional principal amount of up to $195,000 pursuant to three additional convertible secured promissory notes in the principal amount of $50,000 each (the “Additional Notes”) on or about each two week anniversary of the issuance of the First Note during the three consecutive two week periods immediately following the issuance of the First Note, for a total aggregate additional net amount of $150,000 (after deducting the original issue discount amounts of $15,000 for each Additional Note).
The following is a brief summary of each of those agreements. These summaries are not complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements that are attached as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Readers should review those agreements for a more complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.
Purchase Agreement
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, so long as the First Note is outstanding, the Company will not (i) incur any new indebtedness for borrowed money without the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, however the Company may incur obligations under trade payables in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice without the consent of the Investor; (ii) grant or permit any security interest (or other lien or other encumbrance) in or on any of its assets; and (iii) enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any affiliate of the Company, or amend or modify any agreement related to any of the foregoing, except on terms that are no less favorable, in any material respect, than those obtainable from any person who is not an affiliate.
First Note and Additional Notes; Confession of Judgment, Security Agreements and Guaranties
The First Note has an original issue discount of $15,000 and an obligation to pay $7,500 of the Investor’s transaction fees. Accordingly, the amount provided under the First Note is $50,000. The First Note matures 6 months from the date of issuance. If there is a default the Note will accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion of the First Note shall be determined by dividing (i) the conversion amount under the First Note by (ii) the lower of (1) 100% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock (the “VWAP”) for the three (3) trading days with the lowest VWAP during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date set forth on the notice of conversion, or (2) 50% of the lower of (A) the average VWAP over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date set forth in the notice of conversion or (B) the VWAP on the day immediately preceding the date set forth in the notice of conversion. The shares deliverable to the Investor must be delivered electronically, via DWAC or DTC, if the Company is eligible. If the Company does not deliver shares issuable upon conversion of the Note within three days of a conversion notice, the Company must pay the Investor a penalty of 1.5% of the conversion amount added to the balance of the First Note per day. The number of shares the Note is convertible into is subject to customary anti-dilution provisions.

The First Note provides that upon each occurrence of any of the triggering events described below (each, a “Trigger Event”), the outstanding balance under the First Note shall be immediately and automatically increased to 125% of the outstanding balance in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such Trigger Event,, and upon the first occurrence of a Trigger Event, (i) the outstanding balance, as adjusted above, shall accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum until the First Note is repaid in full, and (ii) the Investor shall have the right, at any time thereafter until the First Note is repaid in full, to (a) accelerate the outstanding balance under the First Note, and (b) exercise default remedies under and according to the terms of the First Note; provided, however, that in no event shall the balance adjustment be applied more than two (2) times. The Trigger Events include the following: (i) a decline in the average VWAP for the Common Stock during any consecutive five (5) day trading period to a per share price of less than one half of one cent ($0.0002); (iii) the occurrence of any Event of Default under the First Note (other than an Event of Default for a Trigger Event which remains uncured or is not waived) that is not cured for a period exceeding ten (10) business days after notice of a declaration of such Event of Default from Investor, or is not waived in writing by the Investor.
An Event of Default under the First Note includes (i) a failure to pay any amount due under the First Note when due; (ii) a failure to deliver shares upon conversion of the First Note; (iii) the Company breaches any covenant, representation or other term or condition in the Purchase Agreement, Note or other transaction document; (iv) having insufficient authorized shares; (v) an uncured Trigger Event; or (vi) upon bankruptcy events.
The First Note is subject to a Confession of Judgment executed by the Company in favor of the Investor which may be perfected by the Investor in the Event of Default, and is subject to a Security Agreement executed by the Company in favor of the Investor in which the Company’s obligations under the First Note are secured by the assets of the Company. The Company’s obligations under the First Note are also guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
Each of the three Additional Notes in the principal amount of $65,000.00 has substantially similar terms to the terms of the First Note. The amount to be provided under each Additional Note is $50,000 after the original issue discount. Each of the three Additional Notes is also subject to a Confession of Judgment, Security Agreement and Guaranty executed by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Any Event of Default or Trigger Event under the First Note or Additional Notes will provide the Investor the right to exercise all of its remedies under the Purchase Agreement, the First Note and Additional Notes, and each of the Confession of Judgment, Security Agreement and Guaranty.

Other Terms
The First Note and the Additional Notes contain certain limitations on conversion and exercise. They provide that no conversion or exercise may be made if, after giving effect to the conversion and/or exercise, the Investor would own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Other than Excepted Issuances (described below), if the First Note and Additional Notes are outstanding, the Company agrees to issue shares or securities convertible for shares at a price (including an exercise price) which is less than the conversion price of the First Note or Additional Notes, then the conversion price and exercise price, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the price of any such securities. The only Excepted Issuances are (i) the Company’s issuance of securities to strategic licensing agreements or other partnering agreements which are not for the purpose of raising capital and no registration rights are granted and (ii) the Company’s issuance to employee, directors and consultants pursuant to plans outstanding.
The Purchase Agreement also contains certain negative covenants regarding the Company and its operation, including, without limitation that the Company may not arrange or facilitate the sale or exchange of any existing securities of the Company, including without limitation warrants, options, convertible debt instruments, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other equity of the Company (“Existing Securities”), held by any party other than the Investor, and the Company may not to enter into any debt settlement agreement or similar agreement or arrangement with any party other than the Investor to settle or exchange Existing Securities for share of Common Stock or other equity of the Company.
