ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 25, 2012, Axion International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Melvin Lenkin (“Lenkin”), Samuel Rose (“Rose”) and Allen Kronstadt (“Kronstadt” and collectively with Lenkin and Rose, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the MOU, the Company agreed to issue to the Investors or their assigns demand promissory notes (each, a “Demand Note” and collectively, the “Demand Notes”) in the principal amount of $1,666,666 with respect to the Demand Note issued to Lenkin or assigns, $1,666,667 with respect to the Demand Note issued to Rose or assigns and $1,666,667 with respect to the Demand Note issued to Kronstadt or assigns. Interest accrues on the unpaid principal balance of each Demand Note at a rate of 8.00% per annum. The principal balance of each Demand Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable at any time after June 30, 2012 on demand. The issuance of such Demand Notes is being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the Company and the Investors agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and execute definitive agreements pursuant to which the Investors shall severally purchase an aggregate of $10,000,000 of convertible debt from the Company, $5,000,000 of which will be paid for by converting the outstanding principal balance of the Demand Notes, and $5,000,000 of which will be paid for in cash on December 1, 2012.
On November 9, 2011, the Company and Rose entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement pursuant to which Rose agreed to lend up to $2,000,000 to the Company on a revolving basis. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated November 9, 2011, between the Company and Rose, and are evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, dated November 9, 2011, issued by the Company in favor of Rose. The foregoing documents are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed on November 14, 2011.
