Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Purchase Agreement and Secured Promissory Note

     The Company and Peter Lacey, in his individual capacity, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of December 2, 2009. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Lacey agreed to loan the Company the amount of $150,000.00 (the “Loan”) for (i) operating capital and (ii) funding of the Company’s ongoing research and development and related business operations. On December 2, 2009, the Company issued Mr. Lacey a Secured Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of the Loan (the “Note”). The Note carries an interest rate of 20% per annum and matures on the 180th day after the date of the Note. The Purchase Agreement, the Loan, and the Note are collectively referred to as the “Transaction.” The Note contains certain events of default that are generally customary for this size and type of transaction. If an event of default arises under the Note, and the Company fails to cure such event of default following receipt of written notice, as applicable, the Note will accelerate and all unpaid principal and accrued interest will become due and payable to the holder of the Note.

     The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and Note which are included as exhibits to this report and which are incorporated herein by reference.

     As of December 2, 2009, Mr. Lacey owned directly 40,000 shares of common stock and upon conversion and exercise of all outstanding convertible securities and warrants held by or for the benefit of Mr. Lacey, 6,500,000 common shares of the Company. Mr. Lacey is currently Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The majority of the disinterested directors of the Company approved the Transaction.

Security Agreement

     In connection with the Transaction above, the Company and Mr. Lacey entered into a Security Agreement effective as of December 2, 2009, (the “Security Agreement”). As security for the Loan, the Security Agreement grants Mr. Lacey a security interest in the Company’s contracts, intellectual property, and certain assets as reflected in an exhibit to the Security Agreement.

     The foregoing description of the Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Security Agreement which is included as an exhibit to this report and which is incorporated herein by reference.
