NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
 
On December 17, 2009, to obtain funding for working capital, the Company had entered into securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue its 6% Senior Convertible Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $75,000.  The Debenture bears interest at 6% per annum and matures twenty-four months from the date of issuance.  The Debenture will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 per share or (ii) until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Debenture, the lowest price paid per share or the lowest conversion price per share in a subsequent sale of the Company’s equity and/or convertible debt securities paid by investors after the date of the Debenture. On February 4, 2010, the Company amended the terms of this agreement (see note below).
 
On February 4, 2010 the Company had entered into securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $200,000 of its 6% convertible debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. The Debenture bears interest at 6% per annum and matures twenty-four months from the date of issuance. The Debenture is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 per share or (ii) until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Debenture, the lowest price paid per share or the lowest conversion price per share in a subsequent sale of the Company’s equity and/or convertible debt securities paid by investors after the date of the Debenture.  In connection with the Agreement, the Investor received a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.05, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Investor may exercise the Warrant on a cashless basis if the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant) of one share of common stock is greater than the Initial Exercise Price. In accordance with ASC 470-20-25, the convertible debentures were considered to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. These convertible debentures were fully convertible at the issuance date thus the value of the beneficial conversion and the warrants were treated as a discount on the 6% Senior Convertible debentures and were valued at $200,000 to be amortized over the debenture term. The fair value of this warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 219%; risk-free interest rate of 2.29% and an expected holding period of five years. The Company paid a legal fee of $12,500 in connection with this debenture. Accordingly, the Company recorded debt issuance cost of $12,500 which will be amortized over the term of the debenture. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, amortization of debt issuance cost amounted to $6,252 and $5,731, respectively, and is included in interest expense. As a result of the Merger with EClips Media on March 16, 2010, the new conversion price of this debenture is equivalent to $0.025 and the warrants increased to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
On February 4, 2010, the Company had amended the 6% Senior Convertible Debentures agreement dated December 17, 2009 with a principal amount of $75,000.  Pursuant to the terms of the original agreement, the investor was granted the right to receive the benefit of any more favorable terms or provisions provided to subsequent investors for a period of 18 months following the closing of the transaction.  As a result of the issuance of the $200,000 note payable above, the investor was issued a Debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 and received a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms and conditions as previously described.  The original Debenture was cancelled. These warrants were treated as an additional discount on the 6% Senior Convertible debentures amounting to $7,610 to be amortized over the debenture term. The fair value of this warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 219%; risk-free interest rate of 2.29% and an expected holding period of five years. As a result of the Merger with EClips Media on March 16, 2010, the new conversion price of this debenture was equivalent to $0.025 and the warrants increased to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2010, in a private equity transaction, a shareholder of the Company transferred 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock he owned to the holder of this Senior Convertible Debentures amounting to $75,000. As a result of this private equity transaction and pursuant to a release notice agreement, the Company was released from this Senior Convertible Debentures. During fiscal 2010, the Company cancelled such debenture and recognized capital contribution of $75,000 to additional paid in capital.
 
Between March 2010 and June 2010, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of $750,000 of its 6% Senior Convertible Debentures with the same terms and conditions of the debentures issued on February 4, 2010. In connection with the Agreement, the Investors received warrants to purchase 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.025, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In accordance with ASC 470-20-25, the convertible debentures were considered to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. These convertible debentures were fully convertible at the issuance date thus the value of the beneficial conversion and the warrants were treated as a discount on the 6% Senior Convertible debentures and were valued at $750,000 to be amortized over the debenture term. The fair value of this warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 211%; risk-free interest rate of 2.43% and an expected holding period of five years.
 
In January 2011, two note holders (the “Assignors”) of the Company’s 6% convertible debentures entered into an Assignment agreement with an unrelated party (the “Assignee”) whereby the Assignors assigned a total principal amount of $250,000 of the convertible debentures (the “Assigned Debenture”) and 5,000,000 warrants (the “Assigned Warrants”) (the Assigned Debenture and the Assigned Warrants collectively, the  “Assigned Securities”). The Assignee purchased the Assigned Securities for $300,000. Contemporaneously with the closing of this agreement, the Assignee converted the Assigned Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock and exercised the Assigned Warrants for total net proceeds of $125,000 to the Company. The Company issued 10,000,000 shares in connection with the conversion of the Assigned Debenture and 5,000,000 shares in connection with the exercise of the Assigned Warrants. The fair value of such shares issued amounted to $0.025 per share.
 
In April 2011, a note holder (the “Assignor”) of the Company’s 6% convertible debentures entered into an Assignment agreement with two unrelated parties (the “Assignees”) whereby the Assignor assigned a total principal amount of $125,000 of the convertible debentures (the “Assigned Debenture”). The Assignees purchased the Assigned Debenture for $125,000. Contemporaneously with the closing of this agreement, the Assignees converted the Assigned Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued 5,000,000 shares in connection with the conversion of the Assigned Debenture. The fair value of such shares issued amounted to $0.025 per share.
 
In December 2011, the note holders of the Company’s 6% convertible debentures converted a total principal amount of $325,000 of the convertible debentures into common stock. The Company issued 13,000,000 shares in connection with the conversion of these convertible debentures. The fair value of such shares issued amounted to $0.025 per share.
 
Between January 2011 and June 2011, BIG has paid approximately $95,000 in connection with the spinoff agreement entered into during fiscal 2010 and such amount reduced the principal balance of the outstanding convertible debentures held by the Company’s debenture holders and recognized capital contribution of $95,000 to additional paid in capital.

Total amortization of debt discounts for the convertible debentures amounted to $623,667 and $392,292 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is included in interest expense. Accrued interest as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $71,305 and $42,916 respectively.
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, these convertible debentures include a down-round provision under which the conversion price could be affected by future equity offerings (see Note 4). Instruments with down-round protection are not considered indexed to a company's own stock under ASC Topic 815, because neither the occurrence of a sale of common stock by the company at market nor the issuance of another equity-linked instrument with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.
