ITEM 1.01 Entry into a
Material Definitive Agreement
On October 30, 2008, we received a
commitment letter agreement from Investec Bank Limited (Investec). Under the
terms of the agreement, Investec has agreed to extend the maturity date of our
existing bridging loan (the Existing Loan) from the original maturity date of
November 28, 2008 to May 29, 2009 (the Loan Extension).
As consideration for the Loan Extension, the Company agreed
to the following:
(1)
To grant Investec 820,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants for the
purchase of 820,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock at an exercise price
equal to the lower of $3.75 per share and the price at which the Company raises
equity capital in its next offering;
(2)
To increase the interest rate on the Existing Loan from Jibar plus 3% to
Jibar plus 4%;
(3)
To confirm that the Company has sufficient working capital for the
period through the last date of the Loan Extension;
(4)
To subordinate all
shareholder
loans
to the Existing Loan;
(5)
To prohibit the payment of any interest and principal on all shareholder
loans;
(6)
To prohibit further indebtedness without the prior written approval of
Investec; and
(7)
To provide Investec on or before the 5
th
calendar day of each
month, monthly management accounts and an update on the Companys financing
strategy and provide Investec with an opportunity to review the strategy with
Investec, upon Investecs request.
The Loan Extension follows the Companys continuing efforts
to raise additional capital that may allow it to further implement its business
plans. While the Companys management believes that the terms of the Loan
Extension serves to further these plans, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in these efforts or, if it is successful, that the
Company can raise the additional capital on terms that are reasonable in light
of past and current market conditions.
