Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
February 15, 2007, we entered into a series of transactions to restructure
securities issued pursuant to securities purchase agreements dated June 17,
2005
and September 21, 2005.
Background
June
2005 Financing
On
June
17, 2005, we closed a financing pursuant to a securities purchase agreement
with
three accredited investors, Palisades Master Fund, L.P. (“Palisades”), Crescent
International Ltd. (“Crescent”) and JGB Capital L.P. (“JGB”) for the issuance of
$5,501,199.95 in face amount of debentures maturing September 16, 2008 (the
“June Debentures”). The June Debentures were unsecured and we were obligated to
pay 1/24th of the face amount of the debenture on the first of every month,
starting October 1, 2005, which payment could be made in cash or in shares
of
our common stock. We could pay this amortization payment in cash or in stock
at
the lower of $0.60 per share or 80% of the volume weighted average price of
our
stock for the five trading days prior to the repayment date. In the event that
we made the payment in cash, we paid 110% of the monthly redemption
amount.
In
addition, we issued warrants to the investors, expiring June 17, 2008, to
purchase 4,584,334 shares of restricted common stock, exercisable at a per
share
of $0.649 (the “June Warrants”). In addition, the exercise price of the June
Warrants would be adjusted in the event we issued common stock at a price below
the exercise price, with the exception of any securities issued pursuant to
a
stock or option plan adopted by our board of directors, issued in connection
with the debentures issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, or
securities issued in connection with acquisitions or strategic transactions.
If
in any
period of 20 consecutive trading days our stock price exceeds 250% of the June
Warrants’ exercise price, all of the June Warrants shall expire on the 30th
trading day after we send a call notice to the June Warrant holders. If at
any
time after one year from the date of issuance of the June Warrants there is
not
an effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus
available for, the resale of the shares underlying the June Warrants, then
the
holder may exercise the June Warrant at such time by means of a cashless
exercise.
September
2005 Financing
On
September 21, 2005, we closed a financing pursuant to a securities purchase
agreement with two accredited investors, Palisades and Crescent for the issuance
of $3,108,000 in face amount of debentures maturing December 20, 2008 (the
“September Debentures” and together with the June Debentures, the “Old
Debentures”). The September Debentures were unsecured and we were obligated to
pay 1/24th of the face amount of the debenture on the first of every month,
starting January 1, 2006, which payment could be made in cash or in shares
of
our common stock. We could pay this amortization payment in cash or in stock
at
the lower of $0.75 per share or 80% of the volume weighted average price of
our
stock for the five trading days prior to the repayment date. In the event that
we made the payment in cash, we paid 110% of the monthly redemption
amount.
In
addition, we issued warrants to the investors, expiring September 21, 2008,
to
purchase 2,172,000 shares of restricted common stock, exercisable at a per
share
of $0.80 (the “September Warrants” and together with the June Warrants, the “Old
Warrants”). In addition, the exercise price of the September Warrants would be
adjusted in the event we issued common stock at a price below the exercise
price, with the exception of any securities issued pursuant to a stock or option
plan adopted by our board of directors, issued in connection with the debentures
issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, or securities issued
in
connection with acquisitions or strategic transactions.
If
in any
period of 20 consecutive trading days our stock price exceeds 250% of the
September Warrants’ exercise price, all of the September Warrants shall expire
on the 30th trading day after we send a call notice to the September Warrant
holders. If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of the
September Warrants there is not an effective registration statement registering,
or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the shares underlying
the
September Warrants, then the holder may exercise the September Warrant at such
time by means of a cashless exercise.
Restructuring
On
February 15, 2007, the following transactions took place with regards to the
Old
Debentures and Old Warrants:
1) |
JGB
entered into an assignment agreement with Crescent, pursuant to which
Crescent purchased from JGB the June Debentures issued to JGB. The
face
value of the June Debentures issued to JGB at the time of the transaction
was $333,333.33 and Crescent paid $250,000 to JGB for the
assignment;
|
2) |
We
entered into a settlement agreement with JGB for the sum of $83,333.33.
We
amended the terms of the Old Warrants held by JGB to remove the ratchet
and call provisions and JGB agreed to release any shares reserved
for
issuance of the Old Warrants and to not exercise such Old Warrants
until
we obtain an increase in the authorized shares of common stock. Upon
obtaining the increase in authorized shares, we agreed to issue JGB
500,000 shares of restricted common stock;
|
3) |
We
entered into a first amendment and waiver agreement with Palisades
for the
amendment of the Old Debentures issued to Palisades (the “Palisades
Amendment Agreement”); and
|
4) |
We
entered into a first amendment and waiver agreement with Crescent
for the
amendment of the Old Debentures issued to JGB (and purchased by Crescent)
and Crescent (the “Crescent Amendment Agreement” and together with the
Palisades Amendment Agreement, the “Restructuring
Amendments”).
|
Palisades
and Crescent agreed to amend the Old Debentures to remove the mandatory monthly
liquidation provision and to amend the fixed conversion price of the Old
Debentures to $0.1375 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). As a result, the principal
amount remaining on the Old Debentures is now due and payable at maturity,
unless sooner converted into shares of common stock by the investors, at the
Fixed Conversion Price. Palisades and Crescent further agreed to waive any
and
all existing defaults under the Old Debentures.
Pursuant
to the Palisades Amendment Agreement, we agreed to issue 7,025,789 shares of
common stock (the “Monthly Redemption Shares”) to Palisades upon conversion of
$608,433.15 in principal amount of the Old Debentures. Such Monthly Redemption
Shares were issued as payment for monthly redemptions owed to Palisades on
December 1, 2006 and January 1, 2007 and February 1, 2007 pursuant to the Old
Debentures. These Monthly Redemption Shares were not issued while we negotiated
the terms of a potential buy-out or restructuring of the Old Debentures. The
Monthly Redemption Shares were previously registered for resale pursuant to
resale registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and represent the remaining shares of common stock registered thereunder for
Palisades pursuant to the Old Debentures. As a result of the Monthly Redemption
Shares, the exercise price of the Old Warrants was reduced to $0.0866, which
Palisades exercised on a cashless basis and received 2,970,758 shares of common
stock which were previously registered for resale pursuant to resale
registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We
agreed
to pay Palisades a forbearance fee of $150,000 a month, for six months, which
fee was paid in shares of common stock at an issuance price of $0.1375, for
a
total issuance of 5,454,546 shares of restricted common stock. In addition,
we
agreed to issue Palisades 1,449,825 shares of common stock as a commitment
fee
for the restructuring of the Old Debentures.
In
connection with the restructuring and new financing discussed below, we executed
a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in favor of Palisades
and Crescent granting them a first priority security interest in all of our
goods, inventory, contractual rights and general intangibles, receivables,
documents, instruments, chattel paper, and intellectual property, except for
our
Carbon County prospect, which Palisades and Crescent took a second priority
interest and for our Carter Creek and Weston County prospects, which the
investors were not granted any security interest. The Security Agreement states
that if an event of default occurs under the Old Debentures, Security
Agreement or New Debenture, the Investors have the right to take
possession of the collateral, to operate our business using the collateral,
and
have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all
or
any part of the collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise to satisfy
our obligations under these agreements.
New
Financing
On
February 15, 2007, we closed a financing pursuant to a securities purchase
agreement with Palisades for the issuance of a $714,500 face amount debenture
maturing September 15, 2007 (the “New Debenture”). The New Debenture does not
accrue interest and the investors paid $500,000 for the New Debenture. We paid
a
commission of $100,000 to HPC Capital Management (a registered broker-dealer)
in
connection with the transaction, resulting in net proceeds to us of $400,000
before our legal fees. We used the net proceeds to pay our settlement agreement
payment to JGB, repayment of a bridge loan to Petro Capital Securities, LLC
and
the remainder for general working capital purposes. We also issued HPC Capital
Management 6,458,063 shares of restricted common stock and agreed to issue
an
additional 1,041,937 shares of restricted common stock upon obtaining an
increase in our authorized shares of common stock, which shares are additional
compensation for its services in connection with the transaction with the
investors.
The
convertible debentures are secured and are convertible into our common stock,
at
Palisades option, at a fixed conversion price of $0.1375. Based on this
conversion price, the $714,500 secured convertible debenture is convertible
into
5,196,364 shares of our common stock.
In
the
event of default, the investors may require payment, which shall be the greater
of: (A) 130% of the principal amount of the face amount of the debenture to
be
prepaid, or (B) the principal amount of the debenture to be prepaid, divided
by
the conversion price on (x) the date the default amount is demanded or otherwise
due or (y) the date the default amount is paid in full, whichever is less,
multiplied by the closing price on (x) the date the default amount is demanded
or otherwise due or (y) the date the default amount is paid in full, whichever
is greater
The
conversion price of the debenture may be adjusted in certain circumstances
such
as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common
stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions
as
would otherwise result in dilution of the investor’s position.
The
Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to cover the future sale by the investors of the shares
issuable upon conversion of the Old and New Debentures. If the registration
statement is not filed by the filing deadline or if the registration statement
is not declared effective by the effective deadline, we are required to pay
liquidated damages to the investors.
