In December 2001 we borrowed $4.0 million from Commerzbank AG pursuant to a Note originally due December 20, 2002 in order to expand our product portfolio. Subsequently the maturity of the Note was extended to March 2003. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 7%, payable quarterly, with the entire principal amount and accrued interest due on maturity. The Note is prepayable in full upon the sale of equity by us. Upon the Note becoming prepayable, we are required to repay the entire principal amount of the Note together with the greater of (1) accrued interest payable on the Note or (2) a prepayment premium equal to $200,000. The Note is secured by a guaranty from Slingsby Enterprises and a pledge by Slingsby Enterprises of 5,600,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The lender and Slingsby Enterprises have also agreed that if the Note remains unpaid at maturity, Commerzbank may elect to exchange the Note for Series A Preferred Stock or common stock owned by Slingsby Enterprises to the value of $5.0 million. In April 2003 the Note was acquired by Consipio Holding b.v. from Commerzbank AG, and Consipio and Private reached an agreement-in-principle with Consipio to extend the maturity of the Note for five years, with interest on the Note being increased to 9.9% per annum. However, Consipio and Private have been unable to reach final agreement on other terms and conditions relating to the restructured Note. Accordingly, in December 2003 Consipio notified Private and Slingsby Enterprises that Private was in default under the Note, and demanded immediate payment of the outstanding principal under the Note. The Company continues to make all regularly scheduled interest payments on the Note and believes that it has valid defenses to the demand for immediate repayment of the Note, should Consipio seek to enforce immediate repayment. As of December 31, 2005 the outstanding principal under the Note was $ 2.9 million (or EUR 2.5 million). In any event, the Company does not believe that the acceleration of the Note by Consipio, if not rescinded, will have a material adverse effect on the Company, as the Note is fully collateralized by 4,950,000 shares of Private Media Group, Inc. Common Stock pursuant to the guaranty agreement from Slingsby. Slingsby Enterprises is beneficially owned by Berth H. Milton, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
