Item 1.01 – Entry into Material Definitive Agreements

As reported in the Company’s Form 8-K July 1, 2011, we were in default to each of the holders of our convertible notes due December 1, 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) in the original principal amount of $8,437,500. As a result of such defaults, our total liabilities (including accrued interest, penalties and default redemption payments) to the 2011 Noteholders aggregated $22,301,761. We entered into an exchange agreement on June 29, 2011, with Iroquois Master Fund Ltd., Cranshire Capital, L.P., Freestone Advantage Partners, L.P., Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd. and Kingsbrook Opportunities Master Fund LP, (collectively, the “2011 Noteholders”), (the “Exchange Agreement”) in order to settle our obligations to each of the 2011 Noteholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, each 2011 Noteholder agreed to exchange its claims against the Company, its subsidiaries and certain of their respective current and former officers, directors and representatives for (i) the Company’s 4% convertible notes ($4,950,000 original principal amount in the aggregate (the “Notes”)), (ii) shares of 4% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (with an aggregate stated value of $6,701,000 (the “Preferred Stock”)) under a Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), and (iii) a warrant, expiring 5 years from the date of the receipt of Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Exchange Agreement),  to purchase additional shares of our common stock. Under the Exchange Agreement, each of the 2011 Noteholders and their affiliated and related persons and entities also received a mutual full release from the Company.

On August 1, 2011, we amended the Notes as follows:
 
(i)           The term Automatic Conversion Price (as defined in the Note) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Automatic Conversion Price” means, with respect to a particular date of determination, the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the price which is equal to the product of (1) 70% multiplied by (2) the quotient of (A) the sum of each of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the applicable Installment Date (or, solely with respect to the First Installment Date, the sum of each of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock during the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the First Installment Date) (each such period, an “Automatic Conversion Measuring Period”) divided by (B) three (3). All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or other similar transaction during any such Automatic Conversion Measuring Period. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the Automatic Conversion Price, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 21.
 
(ii)           The term Installment Date (as defined in the Note) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Installment Date” means each of the following dates: (i) August 22, 2011 (the “First Installment Date”), (ii) September 22, 2011, being the twenty-second (22nd) Trading Day immediately following the First Installment Date (the “Second Installment Date”); (iii) October 20, 2011, being the twentieth (20th) Trading Day immediately following the Second Installment Date (the “Third Installment Date”); and (iv) the Maturity Date.
 
 
 

 
 
(iii)           The term Pre-Installment Date (as defined in the Note) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
