Note payable, 10%, secured, due January 1, 2015 - During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company issued secured notes payable aggregating $265,000. All of these borrowings bear interest at 10% and are due, as modified during 2012, on January 1, 2016. The notes are secured by a first lien on accounts receivable that are not otherwise used by the Company as collateral for other borrowings and by a second lien on all other accounts receivable.

 

Convertible term note payable, 12%, secured, due January 1, 2016 - The Company entered into a secured loan agreement during 2008 for working capital. The loan bears interest at 12%, which is payable monthly and is due, as modified during 2012, on January 1, 2016. During 2009, the note was modified for its conversion into common shares at $.25 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the modification. The note is secured by a subordinate lien on all assets of the Company.

 

Convertible notes payable, 6%, due January 1, 2016 - At December 31, 2012, the Company was obligated to unrelated third parties for $150,000 ($150,000 - 2011). The principal is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at $.05 per share. The notes bear interest at 6.0% at December 31, 2012 (6.0% - 2011). The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock subject to the following limitations. The Notes are not convertible to the extent that shares of common stock issuable upon the proposed conversion would result in a change in control of the Company which would limit the use of its net operating loss carryforwards; provided, however if the Company closes a transaction with another third party or parties that results in a change of control which will limit the use of its net operating loss carryforwards, then the foregoing limitation shall lapse. Prior to any conversion by a requesting note holder, each note holder holding a note which is then convertible into 5% or more of the Company’s common stock shall be entitled to participate on a pari passu basis with the requesting note holder and upon any such participation the requesting note holder shall proportionately adjust his conversion request such that, in the aggregate, a change of control, which will limit the use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, does not occur.

  

Term note payable - PBGC, 6%, secured - On October 17, 2011, in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued a secured promissory note in favor of the PBGC for $300,000 bearing interest at 6% per annum amortizing in quarterly payments over a seven year period with a balloon payment of $75,000 in 2015 (the “PBGC Note”).

Obligation to PBGC based on free cash flow - On October 17, 2011, in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the Company became obligated to make annual future payments to the PBGC through December 31, 2017 equal to a portion of the Company’s “Free Cash Flow” as defined in the Settlement Agreement, not to exceed $569,999. The annual obligation is contingent upon the Company earning free cash flow in excess of defined amounts which vary by year. The annual amount is due 15 days after the issuance of the Company’s audited financial statements relating to the previous year.  There are no amounts due in 2013 based on the calculation of free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Settlement Agreement contains  specific events of default and provisions for remedies upon default. See note 10 for further information related to the O&W Plan termination.

 

Convertible term note payable, 7%, secured - In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of its common stock from the O&W Plan for $130,000 which was funded from the proceeds of a convertible note in the principal amount of $100,000 to a non-affiliated accredited investor on October 4, 2011 and $30,000 of the Company's working capital. The note bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, payable monthly, matures on October 3, 2016 and is secured by a subordinate lien on all of the Company’s assets.
