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 Company’s 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 Company’s financing strategy and provide Investec with an opportunity to review the strategy with Investec, upon Investec’s request.

 

The Loan Extension follows the Company’s continuing efforts to raise additional capital that may allow it to further implement its business plans. While the Company’s 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.
