(the "Company") closed on $2.5 million in new debt financing. The debt financing was provided pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with the investors named therein (together, the "Investors") and ComVest Venture Partners, L.P. ("ComVest"), in its capacity as administrative agent to the Investors, dated as of June 18, 2002 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Investors 25 Units (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of a (i) $100,000 Senior Subordinated 7% Non-Convertible Promissory Note (the "Notes"), and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Warrants"). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum, which shall accrue through the earlier of (i) the date on which the Notes are converted; (ii) December 18, 2004; (iii) the date on which the Company consummates a merger, combination or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) upon the acquisition of more than 50% of the voting power or interest of the Company by the purchase by a single entity or person or "group" existing pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Notes shall rank senior to all other indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company, and are secured by a first perfected priority lien and security interest (the "Security Interest") in certain collateral of the Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2002, by and among the Company, each of the Investors and ComVest, in its capacity as administrative agent for the investors (the "Security Agreement"). The Notes are also secured by a second mortgage (the "Mortgage") on the Company's headquarters located in Vernon, Connecticut and owned by the Company (the "Mortgagee Collateral"), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Mortgage and Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2002, by the Company (the "Mortgage and Security Agreement"). In the event the Company establishes a revolving credit facility with an institutional lender for a maximum of $2,000,000, and repayment of such credit facility is secured by certain collateral of the Company, including accounts receivable and inventory (the "Lender Collateral"), then the Security Interest shall automatically become subordinate to the Lender's first perfected priority lien and security interest only with respect to the Lender Collateral, so that repayment of the Notes shall be secured by a second perfected lien and security interest only with respect to the Lender Collateral. The Notes contain optional and automatic conversion provisions. In the event the Company (i) fails to pay the Notes when due (whether at the Maturity Date or upon an event of default under the Notes), or (ii) fails to meet the performance milestones set forth in the Notes, the holders of the Notes shall have the right to convert the Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a 15% discount to the average closing bid price for the 5 trading days immediately following the later of (i) the date of such event of default or failure to meet the performance milestones, and (ii) the date of the issuance of any press release relating to the event of default. In the event (i) the average closing bid price for the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 3 times the Automatic Conversion Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) for a period of 20 consecutive trading days; and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the "Conversion Shares") are trading on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ SmallCap or National Market System, and all such securities are fully registered for resale or fully tradeable under Rule 144 and not subject to any lock-up provisions, then the Company shall have the right to convert the Notes into Conversion Shares at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Notes that may be converted in any 30-day period shall be limited to the number of Conversion Shares as shall equal 10 times the average daily trading volume during the 30-day period immediately prior to any notice of conversion as set forth in the Notes. The Notes also contain customary prepayment provisions and anti-dilution provisions. The Warrants are exercisable at a per share exercise price of $1.00. The Warrants expire on December 18, 2004 and contain a cashless exercise feature. In the event the Notes are repaid in full on or prior to December 18, 2002, the Company shall have the right to redeem 50% of each Warrant at a price of $.01 per Warrant Share. The Investors include the following entities and individuals: (A) ComVest, which purchased 10.6 Units; (B) RMC Capital, LLC ("RCM"), which purchased 3.3 Units; (C) Robert Priddy ("Priddy"), who purchased 3.3 Units; (D) John S. Metz, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and Director who purchased 0.16 Units; (E) Brian Herrman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer who purchased 0.033 Units; and (F) Scott Tepper, who is a director of the Company, who purchased 0.16 Units. After giving effect to their purchase of the Units, Comvest, RCM and Priddy may be deemed to beneficially own, respectively 41.6%, 13.9%, and 27.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement by and between the Company and Commonwealth Associates L.P. ("Commonwealth") dated as of May 10, 2002 (the "Advisory Agreement"), Commonwealth agreed to act as financial advisor to the Company. During the term of the Advisory Agreement and for a period of 6 months thereafter, Commonwealth has a right of first refusal to act as exclusive placement agent or financial advisor in connection with any private placement by the Company in excess of $1,000,000. As compensation for services rendered to the Company under the Advisory Agreement, Commonwealth received a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price equal to $1.00 (the "Advisor Warrant" and together with the Notes and the Warrants, the "Securities"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 by September 18, 2002, covering the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Advisor Warrants (the "Advisor Warrant Shares"). In addition, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective by December 18, 2002. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, ComVest, Commonwealth and the Investors were also granted unlimited piggyback registration rights with respect to any registration statements filed by the Company after June 18, 2002. The piggyback registration rights are subject to customary limitations and exceptions. Also pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to cause certain existing Company securityholders, to agree that, until the Warrant Shares are fully registered and freely tradeable, such securityholders will not directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it. The foregoing is based in part upon the information contained in Amendment No. 1 filed June 28, 2002 ("Amendment No. 1") to the Schedule 13D with respect to the Company filed by ComVest Venture Partners, L.P., ComVest Management, LLC, RMC Capital, LLC, Michael S.
