NOTE 19 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
On January 2, 2014 the Company issued 285,716 shares of common stock to its four non-executive directors (71,429 shares each) Mark Hershhorn, Brian Israel, Morris Garfinkle and Edward Smith III. The Company recognized a total expense of $160,001 related to these issuances.  These shares were valued based on the closing price on the grant date.
 
On February 11, 2014 the Company entered into an agreement with Edward Smith III, a Director and Shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Smith agreed to lend the Company $200,000 in a convertible senior secured note.  The note matures in two years (February 11, 2016) and bears interest at 12.5% computed based on a 365-day year.  Accrued interest is payable either at maturity or quarterly at the option of Mr. Smith in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  At any time on or after the date that is 90 days after the date of issuance of the note, Mr. Smith may elect to convert the aggregate principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The conversion price under the note is $2.25, subject to adjustment as provided in the note.  If on the maturity date of the note, the thirty day trailing average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Trailing Average Price”) is below $2.25, the Conversion Price on the maturity date will be reduced to the Trailing Average Price, but to not less than $1.25.  The note is secured by the assets of the Company, which security interest is expressly subordinate to the interest of Fordham Capital Partners LLC described below, pursuant to an intercreditor agreement between Mr. Smith and Fordham dated March 18, 2014.
 
On April 25, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Edward Smith III, a Director and Shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Smith agreed to lend the Company $300,000 in a convertible subordinated secured note.  The note matures in two years (April 25, 2016) and bears interest at 14% computed based on a 365-day year.  Accrued interest is payable at maturity in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  At any time on or after the date that is 90 days after the date of issuance of the note, Mr. Smith may elect to convert the aggregate principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The conversion price under the note is $1.00.  The conversion price was greater than the closing stock price on the agreement date; therefore no beneficial conversion feature was recorded on this note.  The note is secured by the assets of the Company, which security interest is subordinate to the security interest granted to Fordham in connection with the Equipment Loan and the Factoring Agreement.
 
On April 30, 2014, the Company issued a 14% convertible subordinated secured note to each of Morris Garfinkle, Mark Hershhorn, Brian Israel and Edward B. Smith, Directors of the Company, in the principal amount of $19,000, for director fees due and payable to them (the “Director Notes”).  Each Director Note matures in two years (April 30, 2016) and bears interest at 14% computed on a 365-day year.  Accrued interest is payable at maturity in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  At any time on or after the date that is 90 days after the date of issuance of the Director Note, the director may elect to convert the aggregate principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The conversion price under each Director Note is $1.00.  The conversion price was greater than the closing stock price on the agreement date; therefore no beneficial conversion feature was recorded on this note.  Each Director Note is secured by the assets of the Company, which security interest is subordinate to the security interest granted to Fordham in connection with the Equipment Loan and the Factoring Agreement.
 
On May 12, 2014, the Company issued 14% convertible subordinated secured notes to both Mo Garfinkle and CKS Warehouse in the principal amount of $75,000 each.  Both notes mature in two years (May 12, 2016) and bear interest at 14% computed on a 365-day year.  Accrued interest is payable at maturity in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  At any time on or after the date that is 90 days after the date of issuance of each note, Mr. Garfinkle and CKS Warehouse may elect to convert the aggregate principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The conversion price under each note is $1.00.  The conversion price was greater than the closing stock price on the agreement date; therefore no beneficial conversion feature was recorded on this note.  Each note is secured by the assets of the Company, which security interest is subordinate to the security interest granted to Fordham in connection with the Equipment Loan and the Factoring Agreement.
 
On July 15, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Edward Smith III, pursuant to which Mr. Smith agreed to lend the Company $64,000 in an unsecured note payable.  The note matures in 90 days (October 15, 2014) without interest payable on the unpaid principal and subject to the terms of the Company’s agreements with its secured creditors.
 
On August 6, 2014, the Company issued a 14% convertible subordinated secured note to Edward B. Smith in the principal amount of $264,000.  The note matures in two years (August 6, 2016) and bears interest at 14% computed on a 365-day year.  Under this note Mr. Smith has provided $200,000 of cash as of August 6, 2014 and the parties agreed to include the unsecured funds in the amount of $64,000 provided by Mr. Smith on July 15, 2014 and include those amounts as part of this subordinated secured transaction.  The loan agreement executed by the parties on July 15, 2014 is now null and void.  Accrued interest is payable at maturity in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  At any time on or after the date that is 90 days after the date of issuance of the note, Mr. Smith may elect to convert the aggregate principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The conversion price under this note is $1.00.  The conversion price was greater than the closing stock price on the agreement date; therefore, no beneficial conversion feature was recorded on this note.  The note is secured by the assets of the Company, which security interest is subordinate to the security interest granted to Fordham in connection with the Equipment Loan and the Factoring Agreement.
 
On September 29, 2014, the Company issued a 14% nonconvertible subordinated secured note to Edward B. Smith in the principal amount of $85,000.  The note matures in two months (November 29, 2014) and bears interest at 14% computed based on a 365-day year.  Accrued interest is payable at maturity in cash.   The note is secured by the assets of the Company, which security interest is subordinate to the security interest granted to Fordham in connection with the Equipment Loan and the Factoring Agreement.
 
On January 22, 2013 the Company issued 114,944 shares of common stock to its four non-executive directors, Mark Hershhorn, Morris Garfinkle, Brian Israel and Edward Smith (28,736 shares each). The Company recognized a total of expense of $200,002 related to these issuances.  These shares were valued based on the closing price on the grant date.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2013, Brightline converted 665,339 shares of preferred stock plus accrued dividends of $533,000 into 3,859,697 shares of the Company’s common stock as disclosed in Note 9 above.
 
In February 2013, in connection with the Company’s warrant exercise program, Brightline and the non-employee directors of the Company agreed to waive the anti-dilution provisions in the warrant agreements related to certain warrants with a $1.50 exercise price until February 28, 2013. As part of this program, Morris Garfinkle exercised warrants for 244,984 shares of the Company’s common stock and Mark Hershhorn exercised warrants for 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In August 2013, Brightline and three of the non-employee directors of the Company—Mark Hershhorn, Brian Israel and Edward Smith—converted, on a cashless basis, warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “1.50 Warrants”) into 2,537,438, 38,173, 15,944 and 3,347 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, pursuant to an agreement with the Company that was available to all of the holders of $1.50 Warrants (the “Cashless Exercise Program”). For every ten $1.50 Warrants exercised, the holder received 4.5 shares of Common Stock (fractional shares were rounded up).

On August 20, 2013, the Company entered into a private placement subscription agreement with Brightline Ventures I-C, LLC, pursuant to which it sold 376,000 shares of common stock, for a price of $1.25 per share (the “$1.25 Raise”), and received gross proceeds of $470,000.

Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions in the $1.50 Warrants, in August 2013, the Company issued Brightline and Messrs. Israel and Smith additional warrants for 2,316,597, 6,000 and 3,013 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, with a per share exercise price of $1.25. In accordance with the ratchet provisions in the $1.50 Warrants, the exercise price was reduced to $1.25 per share for the 11,582,983, 30,000 and 15,064 remaining warrants held by Brightline and Messrs. Israel and Smith, respectively.

In addition, during August 2013, Brightline and Messrs. Israel and Smith each agreed to temporarily waive (except with regard to the $1.25 Raise) the anti-dilution provisions contained in the warrant agreements related to their $1.50 Warrants (which now have an exercise price of $1.25 per share) with respect to the Cashless Exercise Program and potential capital-raising activities through December 31, 2013, and also to permanently amend the underlying warrant agreements to reduce the derivative liability the Company incurs as a result of the ratchet provisions in such agreements.

On September 18, 2013, the Company entered into a private placement subscription agreement with Brightline Ventures I-C, LLC, pursuant to which it sold 468,571 shares of common stock for a price of $1.05 per share, along with warrants to purchase 234,286 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “$1.05 Raise”), and received gross proceeds of $492,000. The waiver discussed above was effective for the $1.05 Raise; therefore, no additional warrants were issued and no exercise price adjustments were made pursuant to anti-dilution and ratchet provisions as a result of the $1.05 Raise.
