The subordinated notes issued in the second round, like those issued in the first round, bear interest at 12% per annum and have a maturity date of December 22, 2012. Interest is payable semiannually on the last day of June and December, and all subordinated note principal is payable at the maturity date. Also on January 15, 2010, the Company issued a total of 307,500 common stock purchase warrants to the Second Round Purchasers at an exercise price of $4.02 per share, which is the same as the exercise price of the 192,500 warrants issued with the first round subordinated notes. The subordinated notes and warrants issued in both the first and second rounds were sold in private placement transactions, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were not and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, the Second Round Purchasers also became a party to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 22, 2009.
