2012 Equity Financing and the Debt Restructuring
Note 7 - 2012 Equity Financing and the Debt Restructuring

On March 26, 2012, we closed on an equity financing (the "2012 Equity Financing") as well as a restructuring of our outstanding senior convertible indebtedness (the "2012 Debt Restructuring") resulting in complete satisfaction of our senior indebtedness.

We entered into an Engagement Agreement, dated October 28, 2011, with MDB Capital Group, LLC ("MDB"), pursuant to which MDB agreed to act as the exclusive agent of the Company on a "best efforts" basis with respect to the sale of up to a maximum gross consideration of $6,000,000, subsequently verbally increased to $10,000,000, of the Company's securities, subject to a minimum gross consideration of $3,000,000. The Company agreed to pay to MDB a commission of 10% of the gross offering proceeds received by the Company, to grant to MDB warrants to acquire up to 10% of the shares of our common stock and warrants issued in the financing, and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of MDB related to the offering.

Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") dated March 23, 2012 with select institutional and other accredited investors for the private placement of 27,800,000 units of our securities. The SPA included a purchase price of $0.25 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and two forms of Warrant: (1) The "A" Warrant grants the investors the right to purchase an additional share of common stock for each two shares of common stock purchased, for a term of six years and at an exercise price of $0.35 per share; and (2) The "B" Warrant will not be exercisable unless and until the occurrence of a future issuance of stock at less than $0.25 per share, but, in the event of such issuance, grants the investors the right to acquire additional shares at a price of $0.05 to reduce the impact of the dilution caused by such issuance, but in no event shall the number of shares to be issued under the B Warrant cause us to exceed the number of authorized shares of common stock. The shares in excess of our authorized shares that would have been issuable under the B Warrant shall be "net settled" by payment of cash in an amount equal to the number of shares in excess of the authorized common shares multiplied by the closing price of our common stock as of the trading day immediately prior to the applicable date of the exercise of such B Warrant. The B Warrant shall be extinguished upon the earlier of: (a) a subsequent financing of at least $5 million on terms no more favorable than that received by the investors in the 2012 Equity Financing; (b) after the effective date of the registration statement registering securities issued in the Equity Financing if the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds $.50 per share for a period of 30 trading days and no Volume Failure (as defined in the B Warrant) (measuring the daily average dollar volume of our Common Stock against a minimum volume of $500,000 per day) exists during such period, and the Company is then current in its public filings; or (c) 78 months.

Net proceeds from the 2012 Equity Financing, after deducting the commissions and the estimated legal, printing and other costs and expenses related to the financing, were approximately $6.1 million. Coincident to the closing of the 2012 Equity Financing, we also closed on the 2012 Debt Restructuring. In connection therewith, the Company paid $2,750,000 to Castlerigg Master Investment Ltd. ("Castlerigg"), and issued to Castlerigg 2,000,000 shares of common stock in full and complete satisfaction of the senior convertible note and all accrued interest. In consideration of negotiating the 2012 Debt Restructuring, we issued to one of our placement agents 586,164 shares of our common stock and paid them $275,041.

In December 2011, we entered into a loan with 7 accredited individuals and entities under the terms of which we borrowed $1,300,000 to be used as working capital ("Bridge Loan"). The Bridge Loan bears an interest rate of 18% per annum and had a maturity date of February 28, 2012, which was subsequently extended to the earlier of the date nine months from the original maturity date or the date we close on an additional sale of our securities that results in gross proceeds to us of $12 million. In consideration of the Bridge Loan we granted to the holders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a five year term to purchase 357,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share. In consideration of the extension of the maturity date of the Bridge Loan, we granted the holders of the Bridge Loan warrants with a six year term to purchase 247,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.

In connection with the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the SPA, two of the above described bridge lenders converted the principal balance of their portion of the bridge loan in the amount of $400,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing. In addition, one other entity converted the amount owed by us for equipment purchases in the amount of $500,000 to common stock and warrants as part of and on the same terms as the 2012 Equity Financing. The proceeds from these conversions were treated as funds raised with respect to the financing.

In connection with the 2012 Equity Financing and under the terms of the SPA, the Company agreed to prepare and file, within 60 days following the issuance of the securities, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the financing and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants. The Company filed the registration statement on April 9, 2012 and it was declared effective on August 1, 2012.

On April 5, 2012 we secured an additional $154,000 from 1 company and 4 individuals (three of which are members of our Board of Directors) on the same terms and conditions as the investors of the 2012 Equity Financing. As a result of this funding we issued 616,000 shares of our common stock and A warrants totaling 400,400 of which 308,000 were issued to investors and 92,400 were issued to our investment banker.

All warrants listed below were issued with price protection provisions and were accounted for as derivative liabilities. The A Warrants were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model and the B Warrants were valued using the Geometric Brownian Motion methodology with a risk neutral Monte Carlo approach.

$ 2,362,721

We recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $2,362,721 as of September 30, 2012, related to the reset feature of the A warrants and the B warrants mentioned above. A derivative valuation gain of $2,760,071 was recorded to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivative liability from the time the warrants issued. The aggregate derivative liability of $2,362,721 was calculated as follows: (1) $2,216,448 for the reset feature of the A warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rate 0.73%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 5.5; (iii) expected volatility of 83.48%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $0.19 and (2) $146,273 for the B warrants using the Geometric Brownian Motion methodology with a risk neutral Monte Carlo approach.
