Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of Issuer

 

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

 

On April 13, 2004, pursuant to a Debt Exchange Agreement between the Issuer, GAIA Holding, GAIA, Arch Hill Capital and Arch Hill Ventures, the Issuer exchanged all debt owed to Arch Hill Capital and Arch Hill Ventures for Issuer equity securities.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the bridge financing agreement between the Issuer and Arch Hill Capital, amounts outstanding under any promissory notes issued from July 29, 2002 to December 2002 were exchangeable into debentures in the amount of such promissory notes and one warrant for each $1.00 principal of debentures, on the same terms as the securities issued to the holders of the Issuer’s January 2004 debentures (the “January 2004 Securities”). Further, pursuant to the terms of the bridge financing agreement, Arch Hill Capital had the option to apply all amounts due under bridge notes issued from January 1, 2003 for 10% debentures in the amount of such promissory notes and one warrant for each $1.00 principal of debentures, on the same terms as the January 2004 Securities. Arch Hill Capital waived its right to acquire securities having the same terms as the January 2004 Securities for all of the bridge notes issued from January 1, 2003 to April 13, 2004, other than with respect to $1,412,625 of bridge notes issued in 2003, provided shares of Issuer common stock and warrants were issued for such debt.

 

Based on the foregoing, on April 13, 2004, (i) $1,587,375 of bridge notes held by Arch Hill Capital and issued in 2002 were exchanged for $1,587,375 of Issuer 10% Convertible Debentures Due 2006 and warrants to purchase up to 793,688 shares of Issuer common stock exercisable at $2.00 per share, (ii) $1,412,625 of bridge notes held by Arch Hill Capital and issued in 2003 were exchanged for $1,412,625 of Issuer 10% Convertible Debentures Due 2006 and warrants to purchase up to 706,312 shares of Issuer common stock exercisable at $2.00 per share, (iii) $5,459,502 of bridge notes issued in 2003 and $918,159 of bridge notes issued from January 1, 2004 through April 13, 2004 and $323,284 of interest on the bridge notes issued in 2003 and 2004 were exchanged for 6,069,697 shares of Issuer common stock and warrants to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares of Issuer common stock exercisable at $2.40 per share and (iv) $23,185,604 of debt owed to Arch Hill Ventures was exchanged for 21,001,453 shares of Issuer common stock. The $3,000,000 of Issuer 10% Convertible Debentures Due 2006 issued to Arch Hill Capital in the Debt Exchange are referred to herein as the “April 2004 10% debentures.”

 

7


As a condition to the closing of the debt exchange, the Issuer received from a financial advisor, an opinion that the debt exchange is fair from a financial point of view to the Issuer’s stockholders.

 

Prior to the Debt Exchange, Arch Hill Capital and Arch Hill Ventures agreed not to, without the consent of Issuer, exercise any right that it may have to exchange any debt owed by Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer during such period as the Issuer was engaging a financial advisor to opine on the Debt Exchange which period may not extend beyond June 30, 2004.

 

Description of April 2004 10% debentures

 

The April 2004 10% debentures have a maturity date of April 13, 2006 at which time the principal amount and all accrued interest on the April 2004 10% debentures is due and payable. Interest payments on the April 2004 10% debentures are due and payable in cash, or at the option of Arch Hill Capital, in Issuer common stock at a price equal to the conversion price of Issuer common stock as described below. Interest is due quarterly commencing June 30, 2004. Any amount of principal or interest on the April 2004 10% debentures which is not paid when due bears interest at 15% per annum from the due date of such payment default.

 

The April 2004 10% debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of Issuer common stock. The conversion price of Issuer common stock used in calculating the number of shares issuable upon conversion, or in payment of interest on the April 2004 10% debentures, is the lesser of:

 

Ÿ 50% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of Issuer common stock for the twenty trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the Issuer receives a conversion notice from Arch Hill Capital; and

 

Ÿ a fixed conversion price of $2.00.

 

The Issuer has the right to prepay all or a portion of the outstanding April 2004 10% debentures and accrued and unpaid interest upon prior written notice to Arch Hill Capital in an amount equal to 130% of principal and interest for prepayments occurring from April 13, 2004 through June 12, 2004, 140% for prepayments of principal and interest occurring from June 13, 2004 through July 12, 2004 or 150% for prepayment of principal and interest occurring after July 12, 2004.

 

8


Under the terms of the April 2004 10% debentures the conversion price of the 10% debentures is subject to change in the event:

 

Ÿ the Issuer makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving or continuing corporation and or capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets; or

 

Ÿ any person, group or entity publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of Issuer common stock (or any other takeover scheme).

 

In case of any of the above events, the conversion price of the April 2004 10% debentures will, effective upon the announcement date of any of such transaction and continuing through the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction which caused these terms of the April 2004 10% debentures to become operative, will be the lower of:

 

Ÿ the conversion price which would have been applicable for a conversion occurring on the announcement date of such transaction; and

 

Ÿ the conversion price that would otherwise be in effect.

 

Under the terms of the April 2004 10% debentures, if the Issuer at any time sells, conveys or disposes of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets, effectuates any transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of Issuer stock is disposed of, or the Issuer consolidates, merges or combines with any other entity and the Issuer is not the survivor, then at the option of Arch Hill Capital either:

 

Ÿ Arch Hill Capital may participate in the transaction as if Arch Hill Capital had converted the April 2004 10% debentures prior to such transaction; or

 

Ÿ such event will be deemed to be an event of default pursuant to which the Issuer will be required to pay the holder upon consummation of such transaction an amount equal to the greater of:

 

Ÿ 130% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest on the April 2004 10% debentures; and

 

Ÿ the value of the number of shares of Issuer common stock into which the April 2004 10% debentures are convertible based upon the trading price of Issuer common stock on the day preceding the date of payment.

 

9


Also, under the terms of the April 2004 10% debentures, if at any time the April 2004 10% debentures are outstanding, the Issuer:

 

Ÿ distributes any shares of Issuer common stock in a merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization or reorganization or the Issuer sells all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets (other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation), Arch Hill Capital is entitled to participate in the distribution as if Arch Hill Capital had converted the April 2004 10% debentures;

 

Ÿ distributes any of the Issuer’s assets to the Issuer’s stockholders as a dividend, stock repurchase, return of capital, or otherwise, Arch Hill Capital is entitled to participate in the distribution as if Arch Hill Capital had converted the April 2004 10% debentures; or

 

Ÿ issues or sell any shares of Issuer common stock for no consideration or at a price less than $2.00 per share, then the $2.00 fixed conversion price of the April 2004 10% debentures will be reduced to the price per share the Issuer receives on the issuance or sale.

 

Under the terms of the April 2004 10% debentures, if the Issuer issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants securities or other property to the holders of Issuer common stock, Arch Hill Capital is entitled to acquire such purchase rights as if Arch Hill Capital had converted the April 2004 10% debentures.

 

Upon the termination of the security interest of the purchasers of the January 2004 Securities, the April 2004 10% debentures issued to Arch Hill Capital will be secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and to subsidiaries.

 

Description of Warrants Issued in the Debt Exchange

 

In the debt exchange, the Issuer issued warrants to Arch Hill Capital to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Issuer common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and warrants to purchase 10,500,000 shares of Issuer common stock at $2.40 per share (together, the “warrants”).

 

The warrants expire on April 13, 2009. The warrants are subject to exercise price adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events including stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, reclassifications of stock or Issuer recapitalization. The exercise price of the warrants is also subject to reduction if the Issuer issues any rights, options or warrants to purchase shares of Issuer common stock at a price less than the market price of Issuer shares as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

 

Also, if at any time, the Issuer declares a distribution or dividend to the holders of Issuer common stock in the form of cash, indebtedness, warrants, rights or other

 

10


securities, the holders of the warrants are entitled to receive the distribution or dividend as if the holder had exercised the warrant.

 

Issuer Covenants Contained in the April 2004 10% debentures

 

The Issuer is required to reserve from the Issuer’s authorized and unissued common stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of common stock upon the full conversion of the April 2004 10% debentures. The Issuer is required at all times to have authorized and reserved two times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the April 2004 10% debentures (based on the conversion price of the April 2004 10% debentures).

 

In the event that the Issuer does not have the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance as required by the April 2004 10% debentures, the Issuer must use its best efforts to seek and obtain shareholder approval to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of common stock which would be issuable upon full conversion of the then outstanding April 2004 10% debentures as soon as practicable.

 

The Issuer may not, without the prior written consent of Arch Hill Capital, do any of the following:

 

Ÿ pay, declare or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution on shares of Issuer capital stock other than shares issued in the form of a stock dividend;

 

Ÿ redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Issuer capital stock or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire Issuer shares of capital stock;

 

Ÿ sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of Issuer assets outside of the ordinary source of the Issuer’s business;

 

Ÿ lend money, give credit or make advances to any person or entity except in existence or committed on April 13, 2004, in the ordinary source of Issuer business or not in excess of $50,000; or

 

Ÿ assume, guarantee, endorse or otherwise become liable upon the obligation of any person or entity except in existence or committed on April 13, 2004, in the ordinary source of the Issuer’s business or not in excess of $50,000.

 

11
