The Company shall pay interest on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at 8% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on July 1, 2013. Interest is payable in cash or at the Company’s option in shares of Common Stock, provided certain conditions are met, based on a share value equal to the lesser of (a) $0.43 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events, and (b) 90% of the average of the volume weighted average price for 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable interest payment date, provided that the price shall be equal to at least a $0.01 discount to the volume weighted average price for the trading day that is immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date. Merriman Capital, Inc. (“Merriman”) acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the transaction and received a fee consisting of $80,000 and warrants to purchase up to 104,186 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. (As disclosed in Note 15) In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, the Company also paid Hillair $45,000 for due diligence which has been recorded as a discount to the debenture, and will be amortized over the term of the debenture, using the effective interest method. In addition, the Company incurred $15,466 in legal fees which are included in debt issuance costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. As described below, in April 2014 the Company exchanged certain outstanding debentures, including the 2012 Hillair Debenture, for new Senior Convertible Debentures (“2014 Exchange Debentures”). The surrendered debentures, including the 2012 Hillair Debenture, were cancelled at the time of the exchange.

On January 8, 2013 and January 9, 2013, the Company issued and sold to Next View Capital LP (“Next View”) and another investor (“Another Investor”) an aggregate of (i) $392,000 in 8% Original Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures due July 1, 2014, for $350,000 (“January 2013 Debentures”), and (ii) Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 911,628 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a fair value of $69,933 at issuance, which has been recorded as a discount to the January 2013 Debentures.

At the date of issuance the fair value of the conversion option liability was determined to be $24,322, which has been recorded as a discount to the debenture. Except for the date of issuance, these debentures and warrants have the same terms and conditions as the debenture and warrant issued to Hillair as described above. Also, the conversion price for the January 2013 Debentures was adjusted to $0.23 per share. Merriman acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with this transaction and received a fee consisting of $28,000 and warrants to purchase up to 36,466 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. (As disclosed in Note 15)

2014 Debentures

On April 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Hillair, Casano and Masterson who held certain of the existing Senior Convertible Debentures described above (the "Existing Debentures"). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Existing Debentures with a stated maturity value of $1,680,000 were surrendered in exchange for (i) new Senior Convertible Debentures with a stated interest rate of eight percent (8%) per year, a stated maturity value of $1,915,200, a conversion price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment, with a final maturity date of April 1, 2016 (the “2014 Exchange Debentures”), and (ii) a five (5) year Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 7,660,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.275 (110% of the conversion price), subject to adjustment (the “2014 Exchange Warrants”). At April 10, 2014, the carrying value of 2014 Existing Debentures was $1,680,000 and the fair value of the conversion option liability was $2,366. The fair value of the conversion option liability of the 2014 Exchange Debentures was determined to be $380,744 and the fair value of the warrants issued was determined to be $490,601. The Company recognized a loss of $1,104,179 on this exchange transaction. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company incurred $20,763 in legal fees which are included in debt issuance costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

On April 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2014 SPA”) with four investors, including Hillair pursuant to which the Company issued and sold (i) $2,080,500 in 8% Original Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures, for $1,825,000, with a conversion price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment, with a final maturity date of April 1, 2016 (the “2014 New Debentures” together with the 2014 Exchange Debentures, the “2014 Debentures”), and (ii) a five (5) year Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 8,322,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.275 (110% of the conversion price), subject to adjustment with a fair value of $532,944 at issuance, which has been recorded as a discount to the 2014 New Debentures. (As disclosed in Note 15) Holders of the 2014 Debentures are referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as the “2014 Holders”. The Company recorded a discount of $255,500, which is being amortized over the term of the 2014 New Debentures, using the effective interest method. The initial conversion price for the 2014 New Debentures is $0.25 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events, as set forth in the 2014 New Debentures. At the date of issuance the fair value of the conversion option liability was determined to be $413,606, which has been recorded as a discount to the 2014 New Debentures. In connection with the 2014 New Debentures, the Company incurred $20,000 in legal fees which are included in debt issuance costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the discount related to the 2014 New Debentures amounted to $387,965 and $792,798, respectively.

The Exchange Agreement and the 2014 SPA trigger anti-dilution adjustments to the warrants issued on the Existing Debentures based on a $0.25 per share conversion price (adjusted from the original stated conversion price of $0.43 per share), which reduces the exercise price to $0.25 per share and increases the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Existing Warrants from 4,818,605 to 8,288,000 shares.

At any time after April 10, 2014, (the “Original Issue Date”) until the 2014 Debentures are no longer outstanding, the 2014 Debentures are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the 2014 Holders, subject to certain conversion limitations set forth in the 2014 Debentures. The initial conversion price for the 2014 Debentures is $0.25 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events, as set forth in the 2014 Debentures. The Company will pay interest on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Debentures at the rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on October 1, 2014. Interest is payable in cash or at the Company’s option in shares of Common Stock, provided certain terms and conditions are met as more fully described in the 2014 Debentures. On each of October 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016, the Company is obligated to redeem an amount equal to $998,925 and on April 1, 2016, an amount equal to $1,997,850, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing in respect of the 2014 Debentures (as to each of the forgoing periodic redemptions, each a “Periodic Redemption Amount”). In lieu of a cash redemption and subject to the Company meeting certain equity conditions described in the 2014 Debentures, the Company may elect to pay the Periodic Redemption Amount in shares on the terms set forth in the 2014 Debentures.

Upon any Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture), the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, plus liquidated damages, interest, a premium of 30% and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the 2014 Holders’ election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate on the Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The 2014 Debentures contain anti-dilution protective provisions as described therein. The Company is subject to compliance with certain covenants under the 2014 Debentures as set forth therein. On September 11, 2015, the Company failed to make a payment of interest that was due and payable on the 2014 Debentures and thus the outstanding principal amount increased by $1,247,310 to $5,405,010.

The 2014 Warrants may be exercised at any time on or after April 10, 2014 and on or prior to the close of business on April 10, 2019, at an exercise price of $0.275 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain events. The 2014 Warrants contain anti-dilution protective provisions and limitations on exercise as described therein.

To secure the Company’s obligations under the 2014 Debentures, SG Building entered into a Subsidiary Guarantee, dated as of April 10, 2014 (the “Guarantee”), pursuant to which it unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the obligations arising from the 2014 Debentures. The Company and SG Building have each granted the 2014 Holders a security interest in their assets to secure the payment, performance and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the 2014 Debentures and the guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee, in accordance with that certain Security Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2014.

On August 5, 2015, the Company issued and sold to Hillair a $162,000 Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture due November 3, 2015 (the “Bridge Debenture”), for $150,000 (the “August 2015 Financing”). The sale and issuance of the Bridge Debenture was consummated pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 5, 2015, between the Company and Hillair. At any time after August 5, 2015, until the Bridge Debenture is no longer outstanding, the Bridge Debenture is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of Hillair, subject to certain conversion limitations set forth in the Bridge Debenture. The initial conversion price for the Bridge Debenture is $0.10 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events, as set forth in the Bridge Debenture. As the Bridge Debenture was issued at an original issue discount, interest does not accrue on the Bridge Debenture.

A summary of the Company’s convertible debentures as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

	2015		2014
2014 Exchange Debentures	$	2,489,760	$	1,915,200
2014 New Debentures, net of $387,965 and $792,798 discount, respectively		2,316,685		1,287,702
Bridge Debenture		210,600		-
Total debt		5,017,045		3,202,902
Less current portion, net of $198,200 discount		-		800,726
Long-term debt	$	5,017,045	$	2,402,176

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, interest expense on the convertible debentures amounted to $253,061 and $280,422, respectively, and is included on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 total amortization relating to the discount amounted to $416,833 and $718,640, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the total default penalty on the convertible debentures amounted to $1,247,310 and is included in interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Due to the Company filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Court, interest stopped accruing on October 15, 2015. Additional contractual interest through December 31, 2015 would have resulted in $66,595 of additional interest. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, in connection with the Plan, all of the outstanding debentures were converted into preferred stock in accordance with the Plan as disclosed in Note 20. 

The Company bifurcated the conversion option from its debt host. The fair value of the conversion option liabilities were determined to be $794,350 at the date of issuance, utilizing the lattice method. Consequently, the Company recorded a discount of $794,350 on the debentures, which will be amortized over the term of the debenture, using the effective interest method. The fair value of the conversion option liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0 and $110,000, respectively. The significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value at the date of issuance and December 31, 2014 of the conversion option liability are as follows:

	Date of Issuance			December 31, 2014
Stock price	$	0.25		$	0.14
Term		1.48 – 1.98 years			0.75 – 1.25 years
Volatility		50	%		50	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.09 – 0.37	%		0.25	%
Exercise price	$	0.25		$	0.25

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement and the 2014 SPA, the Company is required to maintain compliance with a variety of contractual provisions which include certain affirmative and negative covenants. The requirements principally consist of a requirement to maintain timely filings with the SEC, reserve sufficient authorized shares to issue upon the exercise of the underlying conversion option, and permit the debenture holders to participate in future financing transactions. The Company is also restricted, among other things, from incurring new indebtedness, permitting additional liens, making material changes to its charter documents, repay or repurchase more than a de minimis number of shares of its common stock or common stock equivalents, repay or repurchase any indebtedness, pay cash dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates or use the proceeds of the convertible debentures to provide funding to its Brazilian subsidiary. The underlying securities purchase and debenture agreements also provide for the Company to pay liquidated damages in the event of its failure to (i) deliver shares upon the conversion of the debentures, in which case the liquidated damages would amount to a cash payment of $10 per trading day (increasing to $15 per trading day on the fifth trading day) for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted until such certificates are delivered (ii) maintain timely required filings with the SEC, in which case the liquidated damages would amount to a cash payment of two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate subscription amount of such purchasers securities on the day of the failure to maintain timely filings with the SEC and on every thirtieth (30th) day thereafter until the required documents are filed with the SEC or is no longer required for the purchaser to transfer the underlying shares pursuant to Rule 144 and (iii) to compensate the debenture holder for a Buy-In (as defined in the debentures) of securities previously sold by the debenture holder on a failure to timely deliver certificates upon conversion by the debenture holder. If the holder is subject to a Buy-In, then the Company will (A) pay in cash to the debenture holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the debenture holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the debenture holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the debenture holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the debenture holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the debenture holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements.
