On June 1, 2011, the Partnership and the Partnership-I (collectively, the “Purchasers”) entered into a Debenture Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Purchasers made a standby commitment to purchase up to an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 of convertible debentures of the Issuer from time to time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for the Purchasers entering in the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued warrants to purchase 21,538 and 32,308 Shares to the Partnership and the Partnership-I, respectively (the “Warrants”). On July 28, 2011, the Partnership purchased $140,000 of convertible debentures of the Issuer (the “Convertible Debentures”) and the Partnership-I purchased $210,000 of Convertible Debentures of the Issuer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Convertible Debentures will mature on the 27-month anniversary of issuance and bear interest at the rate of the greater of the prime rate plus 5%, or 10% per annum, payable at maturity or upon redemption of such Convertible Debentures. The Convertible Debentures are convertible into shares of the Issuer’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment to account for certain customary events and also will include weighted-average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Issuer, subject to certain exclusions. The Issuer can also redeem the outstanding Convertible Debentures at any time at 120% of the remaining principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. As of July 28, 2011, the Convertible Debentures held by Partnership and Partnership-I are convertible into 107,692 Shares and 161,538 Shares, respectively.
