Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 4, 2013, the Company replaced $350,000 of notes plus accrued interest (total of $380,696) issued to officers and directors of the Company on August 1, 2012 and maturing on August 1, 2014 (“Old Notes”) with four year notes expiring September 4, 2017 (“New Notes”). The issue of the Old Notes was reported on Form 8-K with a report date of August 1, 2012. The Old Notes had a simple interest rate of 8% and were callable by the Holder. The Old Notes were convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at $2.44 per share as long as warrants previously issued to Hudson Bay Capital Master Fund are outstanding, or at $2.00 per share if the Hudson Bay Warrants are no longer outstanding. The Hudson Bay Capital Master Fund warrants expire on May 20, 2016. The New Notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at $2.44 per share as long as warrants previously issued to Hudson Bay Capital Master Fund are outstanding, or at the closing market price on the date of note issue of $1.25 per share. The New Notes have an interest rate of 8% that compounds at the end of each quarter. The New Notes have a holder call provision that becomes effective on September 4, 2014. The New Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated to amounts outstanding under the Company’s working capital bank line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. A Form of the New Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1. The original issue of notes on August 1, 2012 was in the amount of $400,000. At the option of individual holders, $25,000 of notes was not replaced and $25,000 in notes was previously repaid.

On September 4, 2013, the Company also replaced $350,000 of notes plus accrued interest (total of $371,929) issued to a director of the Company at various dates in November and December 2012 and maturing on August 1, 2014 with four year notes expiring September 4, 2017. The issue of the original notes was reported on Form 8-K with a report date of November 5, 2012. The original notes were identical to the Old Notes issued on August 1, 2012 including a current holder call provision, except that the conversion price of the note if the Hudson Bay Warrants are no longer outstanding was equal to the closing market price on the various note issue dates and averaged $1.04 per share. The replacement note is convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at $2.44 per share as long as warrants previously issued to Hudson Bay Capital Master Fund are outstanding, or at the closing market price on the date of note issue of $1.25 per share, has no holder call provision, and has an interest rate compounding at the end of each quarter of 18%. The New Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and is subordinated to amounts outstanding under the Company’s working capital bank line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. A copy of the replacement note is attached as Exhibit 10.2.

The foregoing description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of the Convertible Subordinated Notes, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
