Interest was to be paid by the company on June 30 and December 31. Each bond came attached with were sixteen detachable warrants.

A warrant holder was entitled to purchase with each warrant, one share from FixAll at a price of $57. Further, each bond was convertible, at the option of the holder, into 16 common shares.
