Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 13, 2011, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) with Asher Enterprises, Inc (‘the Purchaser”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued an 8% convertible note (“the Note”) in the principal amount of $42,500, to the Purchaser.  The Note is described in more detail in Item 2.03 “Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation” below. The net proceeds to the Company in this transaction were $40,000, which was net of Purchaser expenses of $2,500.  In addition, the Agreement provides the Purchaser with a 72 hour Right of First Refusal (“Right”) to purchase securities offered in future offerings on the same terms as the future offering.  This Right also prohibits the Company from conducting any equity financing in the twelve month period following the closing date, with limited exceptions for conversion of options, underwritten public offerings, merger transactions, and refinancing of existing debt.  The Agreement also specifies that 19,495,413 shares of the Company’s common stock be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Note.


Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

On December13, 2011, the Company issued a $42,500 8% Convertible Promissory Note (“the Note”) with a maturity date of September 8, 2012 to Asher Enterprises, Inc. (‘the Holder”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement which is described above under Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement”.  The principal plus interest under the Note are payable upon the maturity date. The Note includes significant covenants which restrict the Company from additional issuances and repurchases of its common stock, additional borrowing, sales of Company assets and advances and loans, except with the written consent of the Holder.

The Holder has the right to exercise its conversion rights under this Note at any time through the maturity date.  The Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the per share rate of 58% of the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Note defines the market price as the average of the lowest three trading prices during the ten day period ending on the last trading date prior to the conversion date.  The Note may not be prepaid, except for an optional prepayment of 150% of the outstanding principal and interest upon proper notice.
