On October 11, 2011, the Company, with the consent of holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding (the “Majority Holders”) of its outstanding subordinated unsecured convertible notes (the “January Notes”) amended all of the January Notes to extend the maturity of such notes until October 1, 2012.

Under that provision, the January Notes would be automatically converted upon the closing of a public offering by the Company of shares of its common stock and/or other securities with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10 million (the “Qualified Offering”). If the public offering price is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price will be adjusted to match the public offering price (the “Qualified Offering Price”). Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the January Notes would receive a second position security interest in the assets of the Company (including its intellectual property).
