ITEM
1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On April
1, 2005, we held our first closing pursuant to a Subscription Agreement we
entered into with several accredited investors dated as of March 31, 2005,
pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate principal
amount of $1,200,000 in secured convertible promissory notes, and Class A common
stock purchase warrants which would be issued on each closing date assuming full
conversion of the convertible notes issued on each such closing date. We issued
the aforementioned securities to the investors pursuant to Rule 506 of
Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and/or Section 4(2) of the Act.
$600,000
of the purchase price was paid to us by the investors on the initial closing
date of April 1, 2005 and $600,000 of the purchase price will be paid to us
pursuant to the second closing, which will take place on the 5th day after the
actual effectiveness of the registration statement which we are required to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the shares of our common
stock, par value $.001 per share, issuable upon conversion of the convertible
notes and exercise of the warrants.
The
convertible notes bear simple interest at rate equal to the “prime rate” as
published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 3% per annum,
provided however that the interest shall not be less than 8% per annum. Interest
is calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and is payable monthly, in arrears
commencing on August 1, 2005. The principal amount of the convertible notes
shall be amortized over a two-year period with payments commencing on August 1,
2005. Each investor shall have the right to convert the convertible notes after
the date of issuance and at any time, until paid in full, at the election of the
investor into fully paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $0.55 per share. The conversion price is adjustable in the
event of any stock split or reverse stock split, stock dividend,
reclassification of common stock, recapitalization, merger or consolidation. In
addition, the conversion price of the convertible notes will be adjusted in the
event that we spin off or otherwise divest ourselves of a material part of our
business or operations or dispose all or a portion of our assets. The
convertible notes are secured by all of our assets, pursuant to the terms of a
Security Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2005 between us and Barbara Mittman,
who is acting as collateral agent pursuant to the terms of a collateral agent
agreement dated as of March 31, 2005.
We issued
an aggregate of 1,636,364 Class A common stock purchase warrants to the
investors and will issue an additional 1,636,364 Class A common stock purchase
warrants at the second closing. The Class A warrants are exercisable until five
years from the initial closing date at an exercise price equal to the lower of
$0.81 per share or 101% of the closing bid price of our common stock on the last
trading day preceding the initial closing. The exercise price of the Class A
warrants will be adjusted in the event of any stock split or reverse stock
split, stock dividend, reclassification of common stock, recapitalization,
merger or consolidation. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be
adjusted in the event that we spin off or otherwise divest ourselves of a
material part of our business or operations or dispose all or a portion of our
assets.
We are
obligated to file a registration statement registering the shares of our common
stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes and exercise of the
Class A warrants no later than 30 days after the initial closing date and cause
it to be effective within 90 days after the initial closing date. If we do not
meet the aforementioned filing and effectiveness deadlines, we shall pay to each
investor an amount equal to 1% for the first 30 days or part thereof of the
pendency of such non-registration event and 2% for each 30 days or part thereof,
thereafter of the purchase price of the notes remaining unconverted and purchase
price of the shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of the notes.

descriptions of the convertible note, the Class A common stock purchase
warrants, the Subscription Agreement and the Security Agreement are not complete
