Item 2.04. | Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement. |
On August 26, 2011, the Company’s 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) matured. As of August 26, 2011 an aggregate of $2,930,000 principal amount of Notes were outstanding and accrued interest of $45,756.16 on the Notes was also payable. We were unable to make the required principal and interest payments due under the Notes upon maturity and on September 2, 2011 an “event of default” occurred under the terms of the Notes. Subsequent to that time, we engaged in a series of discussions with representatives of the Noteholders to explore possible settlement terms under which we would repay the principal and interest over a protracted period. However, due to our uncertain cash position we were unable to reach a settlement agreement with the Noteholders. The Noteholders and their representatives are currently in the process of pursuing alternative legal remedies in several jurisdictions to protect their interests under the terms of the Notes. The changes made to our management, including our board of directors, discussed in Item 5.02 below, were initiated as a result of the default.
