Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement Private Placement Offering

On June 10, 2014, we entered into Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with several investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”) in connection with a brokered private placement offering (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,159,482 through the sale of 246 units (the “Units”) at a price of $25,000 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of (i) a 6% convertible senior secured debenture in the principal amount of $25,000 (each, a “Debenture”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 166,667 of our common shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, subject to certain adjustment as set out in the warrant agreements (the “Warrants”).

In connection with the close of the Offering, we issued Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,159,482. As consideration, we (i) received gross cash proceeds equal to $4,943,750, before deducting agent fees and other transaction-related expenses; and (ii) exchanged our 6% senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $1,094,159, being the principal and accrued interest due under such notes, for the issuance of Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,215,732, at an exchange rate equal to ninety percent (90%) of the purchase price paid in the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, we have agreed to pay a cash commission of eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds raised from certain of the Purchasers, and warrants to acquire common shares equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants with respect to certain of the Purchasers (the “Agent Warrants”), on the same terms as the Warrants, except that the Agent Warrants will (i) be exercisable at 100% of the conversion or exercise price of the Debentures and Warrants issued to the Purchasers in the Offering and (ii) contain a cashless exercise provision.

Terms of the Debentures

The aggregate principal amount of $6,159,482 matures on June 10, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or in kind, at the option of our company, valued at the then conversion price of the Debentures. The Debentures, along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, may be converted at any time at the option of the holder into our common shares at a conversion price of $0.075 per share, subject to adjustment under the terms of the Debentures.

Repayment of the Debentures will be secured against all the assets of our company and its subsidiary, pursuant to a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) between the company and an agent for the Purchasers.

The foregoing description of the Debentures and the Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Terms of the Warrants

Our company issued an aggregate of 41,063,295 Warrants to the Purchasers to purchase, for a period of five years from the date of issuance, up to 41,063,295 of our common shares at an initial exercise price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment. We have the right to call the Warrants if the volume weighted average closing price of our shares exceeds $0.40 per share for more than 20 consecutive trading days at any time after twenty four (24) months after the closing of the Offering. In that event, the Warrants will expire 30 days following the date we deliver notice in writing to the Warrant holders announcing the call of the Warrants.

The maximum number of our common shares reserved for issue under the plan is 110,000,000 shares subject to adjustment in the event of a change of the Company’s capitalization (as described in the 2014 Plan). Stockholder approval will be necessary under the provisions of the Long-Term Incentive Plan to ensure that awards qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

If approved by stockholders, the 2014 Plan will become effective immediately and no further option awards will thereafter be granted under our 2012 Stock Option Plan.
