Item
2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June
30, 2009, we issued and sold a $150,000 principal amount secured promissory note
bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum to James A. Hayward, our Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer.
The
promissory note and accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall automatically
convert into shares of our common stock on June 30, 2010 at a conversion price
of $0.103059299 per share, which is equal to a 20% discount to the average
volume, weighted average price of our common stock for the ten trading days
prior to issuance, and is convertible into shares of our common stock at the
option of the noteholder at any time prior to such automatic conversion at a
price equal to the greater of (i) 50% of the average price of our common stock
for the ten trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion and (ii)
the automatic conversion price. In addition, any time prior to
conversion, we have the irrevocable right to repay the unpaid principal and
accrued but unpaid interest under the notes on three days written notice (during
which period the holder can elect to convert the note). The
promissory note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is due and
payable in full on June 30, 2010. Until the principal and accrued but
unpaid interest under the promissory note are paid in full, or converted into
shares of our common stock, the promissory note will be secured by a security
interest in all of our assets.
We issued
the securities to James A. Hayward in a private placement exempt from
registration pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
