Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On February 23, 2010, the Registrant entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with 24 institutional and/or accredited investors (collectively the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold $4,599,415 of units of its equity securities to the Purchasers in a private placement (the “Transaction). Each unit is comprised of 100,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a per share purchase price of $3.28 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock. At the closing of the Transaction on February 23, 2010 (the “Initial Closing”), the Registrant issued 1,402,262 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) and four-year warrants to purchase 701,126 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). In connection therewith, the Registrant paid the placement agent a cash fee equal to $321,959.05 (7% of the gross proceeds from the Initial Closing). The Registrant will also issue to placement agent a four-year warrant to purchase up to 70,114 shares of Common Stock (5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued at the Initial Closing).
 
The Agreement includes customary representations and warranties by each party thereto. The following is a brief description of such additional terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Transaction that are material to the Registrant:

  
The Registrant agrees to grant to the Purchasers certain registration rights pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, which terms are further described below; and

  
The Registrant covenants to use its best efforts to meet the listing requirements for a senior exchange within six months after the closing of the Transaction.
 
The Warrants
 
The Warrants entitle each Purchaser to purchase up to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock acquired by such Purchaser at the Initial Closing, and expire on the fourth anniversary of their issuance date (the “Termination Date”). The Warrants may be exercised on a “cashless” basis if, at any time after the first anniversary of their issuance date, there is no registration statement in effect registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, provided that all Warrants outstanding on Termination Date shall be exercised on a cashless basis.

The exercise price of the Warrants is $4.10 per share, subject to certain adjustments:

  
If the Registrant issue rights to all holders of Common Stock (but not to holders of the Warrants) to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP at the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, the exercise price shall be adjusted by multiplying a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Stock outstanding on the issuance date of such rights plus the number of Common Stock issuable under such rights, and of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Stock outstanding on the issuance date of such rights plus the number of Common Stock issuable under such rights at the VWAP;

  
If the Registrant distribute evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights to purchase any security other than the Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (but not to holders of the Warrants), the exercise price shall be adjusted by multiplying a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the VWAP on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP minus the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of indebtedness or assets so distributed to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Registrant’s board of directors;
 
  
The exercise price is subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like; and

  
For purposes of the Warrants, VWAP is defined as the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the date a price determination is required.
 

 
The Registration Rights Agreement

The Registration Rights Agreement requires that a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (including any additional shares issuable resulting from the anti-dilution provisions of the Warrants) be filed with the SEC not later than 45 days from the final closing of the Transaction, and be declared effective by the SEC not later than 180 days from the final closing of the Transaction (or 210 days in the event of a full review by the SEC).  If the registration statement is not timely filed or timely declared effective, the Registrant shall be liable to each Purchaser for liquidated damages of 1% of such Purchaser’s purchase price per month until the registration statement is filed or declared effective, up to a maximum of 12% of such Purchaser’s purchase price.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the form of such documents included as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
The disclosures under Item 1.01 are incorporated in this Item 3.02 by reference.
