7. Convertible Notes Payable

The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated November 8, 2010 with two lenders (the “2010 Loan Agreement”).  Under the terms of the 2010 Loan Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Company exchanged $1,015,000 of short-term debt with these lenders ("Old Convertible Notes") for convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum compounded annually (effective interest rate of 47% per annum when taking into account the stated interest rate plus the impact of warrants given as additional compensation).  The Company granted the lenders a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, in order to secure the Company’s obligation to repay the loans. The principal amount and all accrued interest on the Convertible Notes were payable on December 31, 2012, or earlier on an event of default or a sale or liquidation of the Company.  The principal amount and accrued interest on the Convertible Notes may be converted at any time into shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $9.45 per share, as adjusted.   Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued warrants to the lenders, to purchase an aggregate of 1,271,590 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share with a term of five years from its grant date. The aggregate deferred debt discount related to the Convertible Notes was estimated at $660,930 using the Black Scholes model. The debt discount amortization associated with the Convertible Notes was $275,388 and $324,966 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively and was recorded as interest expense using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2012, the debt discount associated with the Convertible Notes was fully amortized. On December 31, 2012, the Company failed to repay the principal and accrued interest due on the Convertible Notes and was in default of its obligations. On February 1, 2013, the Company repaid the $1,000,000 principal of the convertible notes plus the outstanding accrued interest (see Note 16).

During 2011, other convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $225,000 were converted into 144,618 shares of common stock.
